The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella is darkly alluring and intense, bursting from the glass with an array of crushed black cherries, sage, stone dust and dark chocolate. It sweeps across the palate, vibrant and lively, with masses of salty minerals and depths of dark wild berry fruits, taking on a distinctly savory quality toward the close. The 2019 finishes gently tannic and incredibly long, leaving rosy inner florals and a saline tinge that lingers on and on and on. The 2019 is simply stunning and geared for a long and steady evolution.
