Luigi Righetti 2011 Capitel de Roari (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Country: Italy / Capitel de Roari
Variety: Red Blend Veneto

This opens with unusual charred aromas and whiffs of resin. The palate retains the same burnt sensations alongside notes of roasted coffee bean and bitter walnut husk. It lacks fruit richness and ends on an astringent note that dries out the mouth.
