This Amarone needs time in the glass to open and evolve. The bouquet is muddled at first, but after only a few minutes, brilliant threads of mature fruit, spice, mesquite wood and cola come into sharp focus. The effect is similar in the mouth, the wine is subtle at first but quickly builds in momentum.
