This wine will be called dessert tonight. An unreal nose of Tart cherries, raspberries and baking spices. On the palate this is like grandmas sugar cookies, a cherry Tart, and maybe a little nutmeg. Very high ABV is nicely offset by nice acidity. A great ending to an Italian feast in NYC. Will need to hit the gym in the morning. — 10 years ago

Olhaí, @Marlos Silva @Marcio Morelli @Andre Rodrigues ! É disso que eu falo, quando digo que esse negócio de pontuar não é pra mim. Esse Valpo, dentro da perspectiva original de um Valpolicella, um vinho do dia-a-dia para acompanhar uma refeição, me dá muito mais prazer que aquele Valpo do Tommaso Bussola (que custa 4x mais, diga-se de passagem). No entanto, aquele eu pontuei com 90, por ser um vinho mais "elaborado" e esse com 89, refletindo sua deliciosa simplicidade. Uma injustiça! Preciso de um analista urgente! — 11 years ago

Still one of my favorite Amarone producers of all time. Unfortunately the world seems to agree, and where I paid £50 a bottle 15 years ago, it now costs $52 a glass (albeit in Vegas). Check out the abv - 17%! You can tell on the nose, but the palate wins — 2 years ago

2011 vintage. At Lima. Giovanni Rosso's first vintage of the classic cru, Vigna Rionda. Medium ruby - lovely shiny wine. On the nose, closed at first - due to its youth - but with air, spectacular. Minty herb, liquorice, sour black cherry, smoke, violets and tar. Very complex. On the palate, silky smooth - high tannin but ripe and luscious. Medium plus alcohol. Full concentration and high acidity. Deep flavours here. This is going to be a blockbuster of a wine with a long future. Spectacular Barolo. Drink 2023-2043 (although, to be fair, drinks really well now). — 10 years ago

Superb Amarone! Still quite young actually. This wine is terrific. Minor point: if I compare the pricetag of this wine to their “normal” Amarone I would go for the latter — 7 months ago

This wine is so hard to rate. You either love or hate it. It’s almost a dessert wine with the sweetness it displays right from the bottle.

Early on, it had some depth and tannin to balance the sweetness and provide for some cherry and good fruit.

As it decanted and sat, it seemed to get sweeter as tannins faded.

This wine needed strong cheese to really balance it.

It was the favorite for some but then avoided by others. You have to really enjoy the sweetness without sugar. — 8 months ago

Terrific Merlot based wine with adorable sweetness. Typical Bussola style. I prefer his Amarones though but nevertheless a superb wine — 3 years ago

2007. Brought it home from Mendoza. Well aged, smooth, and ready to drink. Some red fruit and few tannins. Malbec has balanced out a lot over the years — 7 years ago
