Monte del Frá Lena di Mezzo Scarnocchio Amarone del Valpolicella Classico 2017

Verona, Veneto, ItalyThis shows a lifted, raisonated nose, reflecting 120 days of drying, with wild berries, fig, toasted walnut, chocolate, dried florals, and leather. It's complex, tertiary, and savoury, with moderate intensity and concentration, on a frame of fine, silky tannins. There is a certain elegance here, still within the paradigm of Amarone, and it's easy to see yourself pouring a second glass thanks to the relative lithe and integrated 15.5% alcohol.Tasted: 20 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:
