Allegrini Amarone Classico 2000
Verona, Veneto, ItalyCall it new wave, or modern Italian; any way you put it the 2000 Allegrini Amarone is an Amarone unlike most others. Clean and fragrant it has a big chocolate pudding, vanilla, and white pepper nose with streaks of cigar, cassis jam, black cherry and coffee aromas. Rich, ripe, and warm, it carries its young grainy tannins well underneath a full flavoured mix of black cherry jam, pepper, chocolate, licorice, cedar, vanilla and plum pudding. It's a bit alcoholic but with fine intensity and structure for aging. You can drink it now with strong game or fowl dishes. The blend is a 75/20/5 mix of corvina Veronese, rondinella and molinara.Tasted: 25 October 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $99.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
