* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Clean and lean in both power and execution, this lively Amarone shows pretty aromas of red cherry, tobacco, root beer and Spanish cedar. It also delivers warming, generous texture on the finish.

Pasqua’s Villa Borghetti Ripasso has some old or stale notes of resin, tar and chocolate powder. There’s not much fresh fruit here and you’ll get flavors of candied cherry and dusty spice in the mouth.

Chewy and chunky, with more emphasis on power and concentration than elegance. Nonetheless, it imparts seductive aromas of coffee, cedar, cherry, smoked bacon, plum, herbs and sweet oak.

Pasqua presents a very approachable and less extracted Amarone that offers elegance and smoothness instead of bulk and density. Indeed, this is a food-friendly wine with soft tannins that would work wonders next to lamb, beef or pork.

Here is a clean, easy expression of Amarone that promises to make an easy match to roast beef or ravioli in meat sauce. The wine shows medium density and power with loads of jammy fruit on the close.

Made with air dried grapes, this fruity blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Corvina (a native grape of Veneto, northern Italy) opens with raw notes of cherry, blackberry and exotic spice. It’s smooth and rich with a powerful blast of cherry on the close.

Smoky and leathery, with snappy raspberry fruit and a fairly strong dose of cinnamon-tinged oak. The finish is smooth and medium in length, and for a ripasso the freshness is commendable.

One sniff indicates that this wine saw some potent oak. The nose has distinct aromas of barrel char, sawdust and espresso. But it still rocks on with roasted dark-fruit flavors that are enhanced by hints of chocolate and vanilla. The finish is sweet and firm.

This is a massive wine on all levels, from the heavy black bottle and heavy wax seal, to the enormous richness and intensity of the liquid inside. Despite its heft and brawn, the wine also shows an elegant side thanks to a careful evolution over the years that has added tones of licorice and cola to the natural base of ripe fruit.
