* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This ripasso is penalized by the quality of its oak shadings, which seem burnt and raw instead of soft and yielding. The wine imparts bitter tannins and resin-like flavors of dried fruit and figs. Imported by Bedford International.

A distinctly sweet, or chewy element distinguishes this Amarone and carries forth aromatically as Christmas spice, jammy fruit and mature blackberry. There is complexity as well thanks to the pretty background shadings of clove, mesquite and tobacco.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This ripasso offers broad, slightly flat notes of old spice, dusty mineral, fruit preserves and maple syrup. It’s definitely an older, more austere style with a tight, firm base of candied fruit. Pair it with meat or pasta. Imported by Bedford International.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

There is a ripe, jammy element to this dark, concentrated Amarone but beyond that, this wine offers huge aromatic intensity and loads of personality. It is redolent of black spice and mature blackberry, and the mouthfeel is rich, chewy and long-lasting.

Ripe and succulent expression, with deep tones of blackberry, exotic spice, leather, moist tobacco and Spanish cedar. There’s also a smoky, barbecue note at the back; the wine is thick, sweet and luscious in the mouth.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Celebrated for its excellent Recioto dessert wine, this quality-minded producer presents a big, brawny red with deep concentration, oversized wood notes, toasted nut, sizzling bacon fat and barbecue aromas. It’s so modern, but also so lively, it definitely represents a departure from traditional Amarone.
