The same blend as the other estate wines but with the grapes raisinating for 120 days and the wine maturing in large barrels. The red color is lively but not concentrated, more luminous. The aroma is decidedly “horizontal”, complex and varied. The spice notes are predominant but there are precise and classic references to Perigord Grottine, Kirsch or the more classic cherries under spirits. Hints of chocolate make it gourmand as does the alluring spice. The warmth from the alcohol is never violent and the acidity and tannins are in perfect union creating an unusual drinkability. Rarely have I had an Amarone so suited for the table, for meditation or to pair with aged cheeses. It is an extraordinary wine because of how uncommon it is. Although I am a big fan of the great wines from the classic producers, I was impressed by the refined elegance of this sensorial sensation.
