A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Opaque dark red. Intense, super-ripe fruit, cinnamon, vanilla. Warm and satisfying, baked fruit, sweet spices, cooked cherries, cloves, dry and long finish. Attractively long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal with red meat, game and mature cheeses.

Tar and tobacco appear in the mouth, with a very thick and velvety texture balanced with a 15.5% alcohol content. This is a hot-vintage blend of 70% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta and 5% Molinara that sees a long appassimento period of up to 120 days. With up to 40 months of oak aging in 600-liter Slavonian casks, this wine shows dark concentration, black fruit flavors and thick intensity. The mouthfeel is seamless; however, the wine definitely flexes its muscles, something you'd serve with a Hungarian goulash and freshly baked bread, for example. Some 46,000 bottles were made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_rating\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wineRatings_rating\"\u003e94\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e Points - \u003c\/span\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003eA rich and fruity red with chocolate and berry character.
