Villa Canestrari 2004 Riserva 1888 Plenum Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Online Exclusive

Ripe, jammy aromas of cooked cherry, blackberry tart, cinnamon, mesquite smoke, chocolate fudge and ground clove emerge from the nose of this powerful Amarone Riserva in a very direct and immediate manner. The wine boasts a ripe, succulent style with loads of chewy, syrupy fruit on the long close. — M.L. (2/1/2011)

Villa Canestrari 2006 I Lasi Red (Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso)

Online Exclusive

I Lasi is a thin and informal Ripasso with easy layers of blueberry and cherry backed by light spice and smoke shadings. There’s a slightly sour note in the mouth and the wine ends with a lean, crisp close. — M.L. (2/1/2011)

Online Exclusive

The nose here is slightly muddled and the purity of the fruit and spice are hard to distinguish overall. You will encounter brief cherry flavors and the wine imparts a gritty, raw texture. — M.L. (10/1/2009)

Online Exclusive

Youthful and fresh, this ruby Valpolicella is thin and lacking in intensity. That said, it’s an easy-drinking option that you could pair with appetizers of finger food. — M.L. (2/1/2011)
