  1. JS –

    A really fresh and well-balanced Amarone here, with tapenade, ripe but fresh blackberries, chili chocolate and some red berries, too. This is tight and juicy, with a medium-to full-bodied palate and a long, fruity finish. A modern, fresh expression of Amarone that shows immense drinkability, but still pretty serious. Not super-concentrated, but shows restraint and balance. Drink or hold.

This blend forms the foundation for the renowned Valpolicella DOC wines, with each grape contributing its unique character to the final product. Corvina, the star of the trio, takes center stage, typically accounting for 45 to 95 percent of the blend. Known for its vibrant acidity and notes of sour cherries, Corvina lends a light and elegant character to the wines. Its profile often resembles the Gamay variety found in Beaujolais wines. Corvinone, previously thought to be a Corvina clone but now recognized as a distinct grape variety, can comprise up to 50 percent of the blend, substituting... Read More
