Ca' Storica Amarone della Valpolicella 2019

 


A slightly amber rim on the pour with aromas of seductive, cherry, blackberry, rose petal, and violette.

Palate--Wonderfully textured with a lively presence on the tongue with flavors of sweet and sour cherries like a well made raspberry/cherry pie. It finishes with a lovely reminder of why you took the first sip and want another and another.

I LOVE AMARONE!  It is made from partially dried grapes concentrating the lovely qualities of the grapes and when done well, is exquisite. Because of the process the yields tend to be less than a regularly vinified wine so it tends to be a bit more expensive.  Good Amarones can be pricey but I paid $16 for this one and it is fabulous even if on the simple side.  Treat yourself, and see another delightful wine without having to take out a second mortgage on your home.  Raise a glass!
