With 15,670 bottles produced, the 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Campolongo di Torbe is slightly more slender and streamlined (compared to the Mazzano), but you are still getting a wine of enormous density, concentration and sheer power (with a 16% alcohol content). The bouquet is redolent of baked fruit, kirsch and blackberry preserves. The wine also shows a slightly savory side with cured tobacco leaf and crushed clove.

Full-bodied and rich, this well-spiced red is nevertheless elegant throughout. Features fine, plush tannins and lightly mouthwatering acidity seamlessly knit to an appealing range of black cherry coulis, rich date and fig cake accents. Shows tar-tinged smoke and earth notes that glide across the palate and linger on the finish. Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Drink now through 2035. 3,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
