Winemaker Notes: Intense garnet red. The bouquet is rich and outstanding, with notes of dried flowers and fruits, balsamic herbs, cloves, tobacco, cocoa and leather. Full-bodied, structured, soft, long-lasting and with a “three-dimensional” taste progression.

A little reticent on the nose, but the intense, clean black fruit emerges immediately on the palate, together with some relatively well-tamed oak and fruit tannin. The tannin wins out in the end for now, but with time this sturdy riserva will attain very even balance. Try from 2025.

This amped-up Amarone races out of the glass with plum compote, fig, coffee, tobacco and nutmeg aromas. Booming on the palate with dense cassis and black cherry flavors spiked with black pepper, wild thyme and violet candies, finishing with rounded tannins. Drink nowâ2035. â Jeff Porter
