La Corte del Pozzo

This is solid Amarone from a warm year. Gritty charcoal tannins with notes of alpine herbs, camphor, dark cherries and molasses. Some menthol riffs provide respite from the sheer power and alcohol. The oak is well positioned. While there is nothing obviously sweet about this, there is a distinct lack of freshness and detail, despite the overall quality. Sludgy and thick. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Brilliant, rich ruby. Intense nose with ripe, dark fruit notes, elderberries and blackberries, elegant wood notes in the background. Hearty and gripping on the palate, opens with full-bodied, firm tannins, ripe fruit, somewhat rough on the finish.
