Zonin
Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red fruits on the nose with light oak, vanilla, licorice and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, dark coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Amarone is a little underwhelming. Not as bold as I expected it to be, with mostly red fruits. Feels more like a Ripasso than an Amarone.
Tangy and spicy with nice complexity and balance.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
A blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25.
