Tedeschi Marne 180 Amarone della Valpolicella 2019
Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyWhen I taste Marne 2019, I am reminded that Amarone has never been a wine for the casual sipper. This type of wine can overwhelm the senses in youth, and as it matures, it throws a veil of complexity that is equally overwhelming for some. 2019 is best described at this point as a gastronomic wine, complex enough to take on a range of rich dishes. The nose is a blend of earthy and garrigue spices. On the palate, warm 16.5% black cherry covers the palate, adding a modicum of ripeness to the mix, at least as ripe as it gets for the biggest, driest Italian reds. There is less bitterness and more drinkability, although there is no rush to drink this wine. There is plenty of time to allow it to become increasingly more intriguing and complex. Since 2015, this label has been named Marne 180, referencing the soil type, while the 180 refers to the layout of the vines and their 180 degree view of the countryside.Tasted: 19 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $59.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
