Santi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2012

Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyOld school, old wood, aged worn edges lead into this amarone, one benefitting from a little time in bottle to tame the potency of the concentration. A blend of corvina, rondinella, and molinara, this is intense and dense smoked figs, blackberry jam, kirsch, prunes, clove, leather and boozy fruitcake. The supple palate is full and sweet, housed with dusky, dusty wood tannins to a flaming hot finish (16 percent). Pour with saucy leg of lamb and couscous to absorb.Tasted: 25 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
