Villa Spinosa 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $60
This wine exhibits fine spice and nicely measured notes of cinnamon, cumin, leather, espresso and dried prune. Its aromas are those you’d expect from a Turkish bazaar. There’s a slightly brown hue to its color but overall it is thick and concentrated with sweet, sticky flavors and noticeable succulence.

Villa Spinosa owns some of the most beautiful vineyards in Valpolicella and selects the best fruit for this intense, succulent Amarone.

Villa Spinosa 1999 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $55
The emphasis here is on elegance, not power or intensity. The wine offers carefully measured notes of apple-nut, cherry, vanilla, mineral, dried lavender and no clear aromatic protagonist. The wine’s age is discernable in the mouth and this suggests that you should not wait to drink it.

Villa Spinosa 2001 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $55
This 2001 vintage Amarone shows elegant signs of age with aromas of old spice, dried fruit, dried porcini mushroom and pressed rose petal. It’s a bit tired and flat in the mouth at this point, so if you have a bottle drink it soon.

Villa Spinosa 2006 Jago Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- $26
This hearty Ripasso opens with aromas of cola, sweet fruit and pressed flowers and offers a soft, warm and supple feel in the mouth. The finish is medium-long and the wine would pair nicely with honey roasted ham.
