Villalta Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2012
Veneto, ItalyFamily owned for 150 years, the winery is now bridging its forth and fifth generations. From the steep limestone laced slopes of the single I Comunali vineyard, this appassimento wine is corvina, rondinella, molinara and five percent local grape varieties, all dried for four months before a long stainless ferment, two years in Slavonian oak and three months in bottle prior to release. Subtle dried plum, dried fig aromas turn expressive on the velveteen palate, joined by a fine current of dried violets, cassis and dusty stone. The acidity is bright throughout, though tannins are sticky and finish drying. Classic, structured and opulent, well suited to rich beef cheeks with polenta, or bistecca di cavallo.Tasted: 21 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
