Amarone della Valpolicella Venezia 2016

- 90 points -

Peppery herbal tones and florals lift from the glass as the 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella slowly blows off a bit of reduction to show notes of wild strawberry. It’s a pure and lifted expression, featuring rose-tinged red fruits and minerals coasting along a core of brisk acids. This finishes clean with a perfumed display of wild berries and hints of licorice. The 2016 may not show the power associated with Amarone, but it does have a lovely balance that makes it easy to pair with a wide range of cuisine – a plus in my book.
