The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a blend of 65% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and 5% Molinara that sees a shorter appassimento process than many of its peers. Shorter dehydration times were very common in the hot and dry 2012 growing season. It made little sense to continue drying fruit that had already lost some of its water mass on the vines. This wine is thick and darkly concentrated with spicy fruit flavors of red plum and prune. The fruit is dry and raisiny, leaving a trace of bitterness in the mouth (that is contrasted against the wine's 4.85 grams per liter of residual sugar, which is on the low side). The wine's alcohol content is 15%. Some 20,000 bottles were produced.

A well-balanced, supple, medium- to full-bodied red, this layers fine-grained tannins and lightly tangy acidity with notes of dried black cherry, smoky mineral, fig cake and aromatic dried marjoram. Offers a lingering, spiced finish. Drink now through 2025. 2,300 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
