2011 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, Veneto, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Intense red color with hints of garnet. On the nose, typical notes of plum, cherry and Morello cherry followed by tea leaves, licorice and spices. On the palate, notes of red berry fruit sweetened by soft notes of spices, in perfect balance with acidity.

TASTING NOTES:

Density and dryness that really comes together here, after almost 10 years in bottle. Its very deep and vertical on the palate. Very pure and beautiful crushed cherries, dried flowers, carbon and pumice. Wonderful all round. Drink or hold.
