Country: Italy / L’Amarone della Casa dei Bepi
Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Veneto
Winery: Viviani / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Wow, here’s a gorgeous Amarone that makes a rocking first impression. The nose is generous and round, accented by plump tones of chocolate fudge, moist pipe tobacco, mesquite spice, cola and Christmas spice or cinnamon. There’s a proud boldness to the tannins and overall structure. Give the wine 5–10 more years.
