Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2021

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, vanilla, licorice and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, dark coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Amarone is a little underwhelming. Not as bold as I expected it to be, with mostly red fruits. Feels more like a Ripasso than an Amarone.

Tangy and spicy with nice complexity and balance.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

A blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25.

Famiglia Zingarelli Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022

This wine is medium dark garnet in the glass. The nose has a good supply of cherry and raspberry notes, dusted up with earth, tar and anise. The palate has a bit of licorice on it, but mainly serves as a showcase for the red fruit. There are some spicy elements, too. White pepper, nutmeg, and a very light clove sense brighten up the fruit. Tannic structure is firm and acidity refreshing. I had mine with a slow cooker red wine short rib dish, and the pairing was sublime. — a month ago
