Winery - Monte dall'Ora
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From the hot 2003 vinatge, this is a bold, chewy expression of Amarone with deep layers of mature fruit and cherry. It delivers plush background notes of cinnamon, leather, chocolate and smoked cedar wood as well.

This ripasso delivers power and determination as well as jammy aromas of ripe raspberry and blackberry. The wine has a thick, chewy feel in the mouth and will make your lips pucker. This is a high quality ripasso available at a higher than average price.

This is a focused, pristine Amarone that ends with firm tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. It is redolent of red cherry, coffee, road pavement, leather and licorice. You could imagine a successful pairing with soft osso buco cooked on the bone.

Aged in stainless steel, this fresh wine presents a correct bouquet of cherry and wild berry aromas. There’s a touch of almond paste and cola in the back and the wine is compact and crisp on the close.

There’s an enticingly smoky element to this ripasso that recalls mesquite wood and church incense. But the wine also has a fragrant, almost floral side with soft, smooth tannins and vibrant cherry flavors.

This is a gorgeous expression of Amarone with wide appeal and generous tones of cherry, blackberry, spice and cedar wood. It has a sharp, polished feel in the mouth that in no way diminishes its power and general intensity. This is an excellent example of the beauty and appeal of this traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella.

Although the wine lacks overall intensity, its measured, composed approach is very refreshing in this land of powerhouse wines. Dig deep and give it time to allow for sweet chocolate, black fruit, spice and cherry liquor. The wine is smooth, with chewy chocolate flavors, and excellent length.

This is a clean, polished and rich wine that delivers pristine aromas of black cherry, leather, cedar, mesquite, ground pepper and moist tobacco. Pair this wine with a hearty meat dish such as lamb chops or meatloaf.

Closed with a bright red wax capsule, Sant’Ulderico is an oak-aged sweet red wine from Valpolicella that offers massively thick extraction and firm tannins that are successfully offset by sweet fleshiness. What really distinguishes this wine, however, is the gigantic thickness of its texture.
