Bertani Villa Arvedi 2010
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
A fresher, more immediate style of Amarone produced since 2000 Spicy on the nose, with a lovely mix of African and Provençal spices. Almost curry like aromas are layered under big black cherry and wild berry fruit. Soft on entry with nice acids, and minor if firm tannins, this is round and creamy, with lots of bitter cherry wild berry fruit that shows good length. Round and generous if not that large scaled, this finishes with moderate length. I really see a similarity with Valpolicella here, a little jammy black fruit on entry, not terribly complex but interesting with nice spice and mineral accents on the finish which does show a bit of wood tannin. 88pts
