The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is based on the same blend of grapes as the base Amarone and sees 60 months of aging in tonneaux. This is a rich and deeply sophisticated expression with vibrant, almost chewy extraction and sweet tones of overripe cherry, prune and blackberry jam. The overt sweetness of the wine is well-integrated within the thick layers of fruit and spice presented. Drink: 2015-2023.
