Bertani
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
So bright and perky for a 14 year old wine made from dried grapes! So bright and perky period, actually. Red-fruit forward but with plum fruit leather and dried apricot but like soaked in a brine of incense—there’s spice and leather hiding in there but the fruit leads the way. Heady. At least in alcohol department it’s a stunner in a leather jacket on a bike but once it escorts you to your picnic sport it’s all fancy, brie, baguette and grapes it may even peel for you (except not that because it’s tannins are so appealingly ripe).
It finishes like a likely spiced cordial who also knows how to spar, light on its surprisingly sturdy toes.

Blend of 80% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella, deep Ruby with aromas of dried fruits, savory spices and smoky notes. On the palate sweet plum and cherry flavors, savory, with citrus, licorice, espresso, pepper and cacao. Soft tannins, chewy on long finish, great balance with acidity, nice mouthfeel, ending with a nutty oaky character.
