The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella presents a stunning portrait of Corvina and Corvinone (85%), Rondinella and Oseleta. This is one of the best value options from the land of Amarone on the market today. Smooth lines with generous portions of dried cherry, prune, leather and tobacco add soft, penetrating qualities. The mouthfeel is long and silky, but the power and extraction of the 2009 vintage is on full display. Drink 2015-2022.
