Roccolo Grassi Amarone Della Valpolicella 2006

Winemaker's Notes:

Just across the road from Dal Forno Romano’s property this 2006 Roccolo Grassi Amarone della Valpolicella shows its proximity to Romano in more ways than one. It is a red wine with a big alcoholic flavor bomb with some finesse. It’s a great value if you are looking for an experience in itself.

The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella is an attractive wine endowed with sweet red berries, crushed flowers, spices and tobacco. There is good mid-palate juiciness and fine balance in the glass.

Marco Sartori is a very gifted and passionate young winemaker. This is a more modern Amarone but still shows the finesse you only see at the best estates. Think of this as a concentrated, full-bodied, dry red wine that still retains a good elegance.
