Amarone Classico DOC by Bertani has a deep garnet red colour baring witness to the long barrel ageing. The first impression on the nose is of fresh black cherry aromas, leading into notes of maraschino cherry and plum. Immense depth and complexity on the palate: dried fruit, oolong tea, liquorice, spice, red-berry fruits, and a long velvety vanilla note on the finish. However, the key to this wine has got to be the sweetness level. It is genuinely dry.
This wine is a fine companion for late night ponderings in an easy chair; either on one's own or quietly with a friend. |
