Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Albasini

Bright ruby red colour with a subtly brightening rim. Fragrant nose of ripe raspberries, ripe cherries, subtle hints of dried flowers, fine sweet savouriness in the undertone. Great acidity and clear fruit on the palate, savoury, with tightly woven tannins, still young but already easy to drink, very elegant Amarone!

This producer’s wines sit pretty in the mouth. A flavorful flow of crushed red fruit, alpine menthol, spruce, aniseed and verdant garden herbs. This is a very easy Amarone to drink, even if that notion verges on oxymoronic. The tannins are perfectly wrought for the full weight of the experience. Not a wine to hold for too long, but certainly one to drink. Drink or hold.
