2017 Amarone della Valpolicella

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico wafts up spicy and unexpectedly fresh with a bouquet of crushed black cherries and dried roses complicated by savory, exotic spice. This is silky in texture with a balanced inner sweetness that complements its depths of mineral-tinged red and black fruits. Residual acids maintain a lovely energetic feel within as licorice and citrus-infused dark chocolate hints slowly fade, all nicely framed by a coating of fine tannin.
