San Cassiano 2011 Riserva (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Country: Italy / Veneto
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: San Cassiano / Riserva

Aromas of ripe black currant, grilled pepper and cured meat lead the nose. The warm, hefty palate doles out black cherry marinated in spirits, blackberry extract, licorice and black pepper alongside almost scorching alcohol and tightly knit, close-grained tannins. The evident alcohol dominates the finish.
