The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico sees four months of appassimento. Add in the 30 months of aging between barrique and botte grande and you get so much plush and ripe black fruit here, with spice, tar, cured tobacco and new leather. The bouquet is intense and highly developed with notes of dry herbs, prunes and cherries. The palate is full-bodied velvety and warm.
