The standout feature of this handsome Amarone is the softness of its texture and smoothness of its supple finish. Along the way, however, you will be treated to sweet red-fruit aromas of cassis and blackberry with loads of exotic spice.

The Farina family was among the first to market this unique wine abroad. The Monte Fante cru smells like an opulent dessert: crème brûlée, brown sugar, sweet chocolate, toasted coconut, butterscotch, poached cherries and caramel candy.

This wine is a bit strange, especially on the nose where it yields too generous notes of cocoa butter, sun tanning lotion, butterscotch, cherry and sweet vanilla. The nose is definitely sweet, bordering on cloying, and tight tannins will need time to soften.

Farina’s sweet-smelling Amarone spends time in large oak casks for additional aromas of spice, leather and toasted walnut. At the core are bright fruit tones of blackberry, cassis and lingering cherry cola that add flavorful accents to what is a smooth and silky mouthfeel overall.

The hot vintage and careful oak aging have helped shape this plump, ripe, jammy and sophisticated Amarone. The wine’s aromatic intensity is carried forth by bright aromas of blackberry, clove, leather, crushed peppercorn and crushed mineral.
