Sixteen grape Veneto blend including twelve red grapes (Corvina, Corvinone, Rhondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Teroldago, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese and Mazzamino) and four white grapes (Garganega, Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay). Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of red and black berry fruit with hints of purple flowers and leather. The palate is more cooked black fruit focused (plum, blackberry, black currant) with touches of baking spices, chocolate and vanilla. Nice smoky and mineral notes on the very long finish. For all that’s going on in this wine, it is quite harmonious, fresh tasting and pleasant. Excellent balance and integration. Dense and rich but not over the top. So good! — 2 years ago

What an incredible Valpo! Corvina (70%), Rondinella (20%), Croatina (5%) and Oseleta (5%). Beautiful balance of fruit and organics. Black cherry, baking spices, Forrest Floor, cocoa and a touch of beef jerky waft out of the glass. Dark currants, minerals, and mocha flavors with just a touch of menthol on the finish. Not the least bit jammy. Silky and polished. Fine tannins. Beautiful. Thank You Kasey and Petey! — 5 years ago

The best Amarone I have ever had! Blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Dark ruby color with a hint of red around the rim. Lovely aromas of black fruit, violets, baking spices, and cocoa. Full pallet of dried fig, black plums, black tea, and herbs. Earth and mineral notes on the very long finish. Creamy texture. Tannins are a bit chewy but not over top. Everything about this wine is totally in harmony and no one flavor dominates. Unbelievable! Thank you for sharing this one Kasey and Petey! Revisited in July 2023. Still incredible! — 4 years ago

This wine was deeply hued, and concentrated, leaving staining on the glass.

On the nose it offered dried black cherry, blackberry preserves, creme de cassis, blackcurrant, plum, prune, fig notes next to black licorice, violet, cedar, vanilla, and leather notes.

It epitomized a full body style, with high alcohol (16.49), a fulsome mouthfeel, and robust intensity of aromas and flavors; tannins were fine-grained, ripe, silky and well-integrated. The finish was long.

60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta, and 10% Croatina. — 3 years ago

I've never had a bad Amarone, but this one is fantastic. Even the last bit of the bottle I had two days later. Big, bold, jammy dark fruit and big tannins, put it with the heartiest Italian or grilled food you make, and enjoy. — 7 years ago
