2013 | Tommasi Viticoltori | Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico

Dried strawberry and violet notes are layered with supple tannins in this medium-bodied Amarone, underscored by accents of wild herb, singed orange peel and wood smoke that linger on the silky finish.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2013 Amarone is a beauty! Boasting a deep purple/plum color, awesome notes of plums, chocolate, licorice and potpourri, medium to full body, and a rounded, sexy texture, it packs tons of fruit yet is incredibly well-balanced and drinkable. The blend is 50% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, and the rest Oseleta, from two hillside vineyards, aged 3 years in Slavonian oak. It should drink nicely for a decade or more.

• James Suckling: Complex and beautiful aromas of blackberry, spice and coffee follow through to a full body and silky and polished tannins. Intense fruit is tied into a firm and polished tannin backbone.
