Fantastic concentration and lovely tannins. Great character from concentrated fruit. Dark red-to-dark berries, hints of cacao, mullberry. small touch of sweet cacao. The best from Allegrini portfolio, which have the best Amarone (due to their drying invention!)


Winemaker's Notes:

"Federal Wines, Boston (Peter Hemenway): This is the finest of the Italians. [I] always give this bottle when [I] want to give a fine gift."" From: www.thewinedoctor.com [Review of 1993] A lovely garnet red of moderate intensity, which although fading a little at the rim does not show any real signs of age. The nose is delightful although a little confusing, as it throws up some dark, dense, almost claretty fruit with a little smoke. Meaty, slightly metallic background notes. There is a full, slightly creamy texture, much more so than I recall from my last tasting. Smoky cherry fruit on the palate. Less acidity than one might imagine. Some ripe, succulent tannins through the midpalate which serve to give only pleasure, and some nice extract too. Clean, balanced finish. """
