Amarone della Valpolicella

Tasting note: Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva, Giuseppe Quintarelli, 2011

Comments = Stunning! The 2011 vintage is a mythical “riserva” from Quintarelli, it is one of the most sought after Valpolicella vintages of the 2010s from this producer. Its aromas have evolved to become more tertiary and be centered on chocolate, cocoa and liquorice. With this wine, we are in the perfection of what man and nature can produce. This wine is undoubtedly a very good financial investment as well as a real treat for connoisseurs.

Final Grade = A++

Tasting note: “Monte Lodoletta”, Amarone della Valpolicella, Dal Forno Romano, 2010

Comments = This wine is a marvel, one of the top vintages from this iconic producer. Its aromas have evolved to become more tertiary and be centered on chocolate, cocoa and liquorice. Complexity, intensity, elegance, sumptuous finish, it’s all there. This wine is close to perfection and has an incredibly interesting aging potential. It is a good investment as wine lovers are seeking this vintage.

Final Grade = A+

Tasting Note: Amarone della Valpolicella, Brigaldara Classico, 2016

Comments = I just loved this wine. I cannot recommend it enough especially at that price range. Tje aromatic is sharp and precise. The balance between acidity, aromas and tannins is perfect. It is elegant but still shows some power and length. For me, it is clearly an underrated Amarone. Finally, this Amarone is dry (which is how an Amarone is supposed to be, contrary what I find on the market most of the time) so it is suitable for diabetic people (not like all Amarone unfortunately).

Final Grade = A
