The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico sees fruit sourced from the Contrada San Giorgio, named after the beautifully frescoed Romanesque church. This Amarone delivers heft and concentration with dark aromas of licorice, tar, barbecue spice and prune. It shows dark concentration and suppleness, but loses some of its sharpness and focus on the mid-palate. The blend is 60% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and other indigenous grapes. The wine is age in oak for 36 months. Drink 2014-2022. Not far from the Adige River and the Via Brennero that eventually snakes its way to Northern Europe by way of the Brenner Pass, Cantine Aldegheri is an old-school winery founded in 1956 and managed today by various members of the historic Aldegheri family. The winery is nestled within the urban fabric of Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, suggesting that much of the town was built after the cantina was established. Fruit is sourced from hillside plots totaling 42 hectares in Valpolicella, including estate vineyards and contracted farmers. A visit to the winery reveals a no-nonsense operation with practical applications for the considerable volume produced. Importer: Testa Wines; www.testawines.com
