There’s a deep smoky element here that is offset by bright tones of cherry and blackberry. This is a wine that would pair beautifully at an outdoor barbecue with hamburgers and baby back ribs.

This 70-30 Corvina and Rondinella Amarone blend is slightly disjointed on the nose with contrasting aromas of toasted oak and ripe fruit. It makes a nice impression in the mouth, however, thanks to its smooth, rich texture.

You’ll notice the wine’s thick concentration first and its layered aromatic intensity second. There’s a bit of everything here: big, meaty tones, dried herbs, white mushroom, vanilla-cherry and savory black currant. It’s complex in the mouth too, with chewy tannins and very good length.

Here’s a winery founded at the start of the 1900s that has morphed over the decades to enthusiastically embrace modern use of oak. In fact, the wood here is almost too much of a good thing with carpentry and cedar notes that mask much of the cherry fruit. In the mouth, it has a chewy texture, smoke favors and a spice-driven finish.

Corte Lenguin’s Amarone is less intense aromatically and laid-back in general with measured aromas of ripe fruit, resin, tar and mesquite. It offers more in the mouth however, in terms of density and taste, with a broad texture and bright cherry flavors.

La Coeta is a massive wine that will appeal to those who appreciate a heavy oak element and dense extraction. Either way, you’ll need to give this hearty Amarone a few more years to find balance. In the mouth, it sports dark fruit aromas and thick, chewy astringency.

This is an opulent ripasso with dense oak shavings and aromas of chocolate fudge, vanilla infusion, crème caramel and Indian spice. The wine speaks volumes about oak, and less about fruit. Give it a year or two of aging for those toasted notes to integrate with the underlying fruit. Imported by Franco Wine Imports.

This richly extracted dessert wine boasts a dark, inky appearance and aromas of exotic spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, dark chocolate, carob, roasted chestnut and mature blackberries. It is smooth, well textured and exceedingly rich on the close with loads of power, personality and persistency.

There’s a bold, extracted and meaty quality to this wine that also exhibits aromas of leather, pipe tobacco, cured meat and jammy blackberry. Oak-driven aromas of spice and wood shavings are very evident and the wine will appeal to those who love a big, masculine style.

Here’s a thickly concentrated Recioto that delivers an inky black color and sweet, ripe fleshiness. Firm tannins give structure to all that sweet succulence and help define the wine’s aromas of almond, chocolate and black cherry.
