Le Salette 2009 Pergole Vece (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Country: Italy / Pergole Vece
Variety: Red Blend Veneto
Winery: Le Salette / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

This has aromas of ripe—just shy of overripe—black fruit that recall plum preserves. The palate is rich, with flavors of mature black cherry, prune and chocolate bar. This lacks complexity and restraint, but is big, lush and decadent.
