The Zeni 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Barriques (with 15,000 bottles made) has a spicy, savory bouquet with dried fruit, blackcurrant, baking spice and dark cola. The wine has a sweet side that cedes to a very strong 16% alcohol content. It is texturally thick and concentrated with some initial tertiary definition that comes across with campfire ash and baked fruit.
