The elegant 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella is sourced from fruit that grows some 450 meters above sea level. The quality of the aromas are bright and well delineated around cassis, plum and black currant. Harvested fruit sees two months of appassimento and the wine is aged in different sized oak casks. That workmanship has helped to produce lingering tones of spice, leather and candied licorice.

Well-knit and silky in texture, with refined tannins framing the layers of dried cherry and black currant fruit. Aromatic notes of herb and spice show a deep accent of rich wood smoke that builds through to the lasting finish.
