Description
Perhaps Italy's most quintessential winter wine, Amarone is a welcome sight at the dinner table - think braised meats or a hearty lasagna - plus it's got the richness to suit after-dinner nibbles like mature cheeses and dark chocolate. This one is massively robust and brimming with chocolaty and candied fruit notions. Five stars indeed!

Tasting Notes
A fresh and elegant Amarone, trimmed by sleek, integrated tannins and displaying a lovely range of crushed black cherry and ripe damson plum fruit with accents of red licorice, tea leaf and ground white pepper. Though medium- to full-bodied and focused, this wears its weight well, harmonious through to the lingering, minerally finish of iron and smoke. Drink now through 2030. Score - 93.
