Gorgeous, rich and penetrating, this wine excels in terms of the elegance of its aromas. Layers of black fruit, spice, mesquite, beef jerky, cola and soy sauce are perfectly integrated and the wine shows plump, ripe richness on the close. Promises to age 10 years or more.

Amarone enthusiasts will be delighted by the resin, cola, menthol and pressed raisin notes that this gorgeous wine delivers. It’s a big, bold wine that doesn’t hold back in terms of heat, power and general intensity: A challenge to pair with food, but an enological treat nonetheless.

Slightly heavy, but by no means has it lost its style, balance or zip. The bouquet is packed with road tar, dark cherry and chocolate, and all together we found it “simpatico.” As for flavors, look for chocolate, cherries, and Middle Eastern spices. Loaded with size and subtleties.

Powerful and spicy, with aromas of black fruit, pepper, baking spices and herbs. This is soft, modern Amarone, a wine that you could drink now. The palate is rich, with chewy fruit and plenty of nuance. Overall it’s clean, easy and perfectly textured.
