Vigneti di Ettore - Amarone della Valpolicella 2017, 750ml
Max. per order: 12
Veneto, Italy / It opens with blueberry compote, toasted bread, earthy notes, extraordinarily ripe black cherries, loads of spices and minerality. This Amarone is judicious in its proportions and, while it comes on full-bore, there is nothing here that could be construed as sweetness. The wine’s lushness blends impressively with richly textured tannins. This is truly a great representation of Italy’s heavyweight champion of a wine and while you can drink it now, I have no doubt that this is on an exquisite course for 50-year aging
