Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Hours of decanting,
And it helped. Smells of dark cherry chocolate bark.
Not as heavy handed as a classic Amarone, yet offers some of that classic dried grape flavor, sweet cacao, touches of grit, some velvety mushroom, deep, dark, thoughtful. Think of this as a strongly bittersweet Italian0 wine, not an Amarone, and it will be a pleasant wine you will enjoy..

Recently tried ‘14. Dark red with aromas of black and red fruits with smoky spice. On the palate veey sweet cherry, blackberry with dried currant flavors, adding cacao and smoky spices. Fine tannins a bit acidic on a medium finish ending with earthy tones. Pricey, thought ‘14 was a bit better, but still pricey.
