Campo Magri is a bright and lively Valpolicella Superiore with crisp tones of cherry and wild berry backed by slight smoke and spice. The natural acidity will cut through the density or ossobuco or beef stew.

Made with organically-farmed grapes, this Valpolicella blend offers meaty aromas of ripe cherry, moist pipe tobacco and light shadings of dark spice. It delivers medium length and intensity with a very crisp, almost bitter fade.

Corte Sant’Alda presents an impressive Amarone in 2006 with loads of density and pure aromatic intensity. The wine opens with a dark, inky color and aromas of dark chocolate, cedar wood, toasted almond, black fruit and molasses.

There’s a perfumed, oaky quality to this wine that translates into mesquite, barbecue, sandalwood and fragrant church incense. Loads of black fruit appears at the back and Mithas shows firm texture with polished tannins.

Here’s a lighter, less bulky expression of Recioto that opens with a dark ruby color and pretty aromas of wild berry and dark cherry. It tastes sweet and thick, ending with a slight tannic nod that is firm without being astringent.

This is an inky, black Amarone that is redolent of black fruit, plum, BBQ sauce, root beer and mesquite smoke. Pair this wine with thick beef ragout over oven-roasted pasta or game dishes. The wine is sticky and ripe in the mouth with firm tannins.

An initial touch of sulphur blows off quickly to reveal aromas of apricot, sage and toasted almond. Soave Vigne di Mezzane would pair with steamed vegetable dumplings or fried rice.

Jammy and ripe, with prune and other soft-fruit aromas. The palate is quite soft, with distant acids and virtually no tannic verve. But it still has sweetness, purity and richness. It’s just that it lacks the edge necessary to propel it to greater heights.

This is an attractive ripasso with a plethora of interesting things going on in the glass. The aromas recall chocolate, spice, resin, dried figs and prunes. They are enduring, definitely on the ripe side, but pristine. The texture is compact but not too bulky, and the wine delivers a blast of sour cherry on the close. Imported by Domaine Select Wine Estates.

Marinella Camerani’s dedication to tradition (with organic and biodynamic farming principles) is legendary. Hers are delicate, sometimes difficult wines, yet they are always prized for authenticity. Distinctive aromas include crushed raspberry, raisins, almond cookie, molasses and cooked pears in reduction sauce. The wine ends with lively, refreshing acidity.
