Voluptuous rich red with aromas of sweet cherry liqueur and blackcurrant preserves. This is a towering red that will go the distance in your cellar as well as muscle in beside the heartiest of meat dishes on your table. Superb craftsmanship.

Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico food pairings: seared beef sirloin, rouladen, stuffed green and red peppers.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Absolutely delicious. Aromas show moderate notes of dates, figs, baking spice and dark chocolate. The palate is dominant grippy young tannins and a well-balanced alcohol, acidity, and fruit concentration. Enjoy with hard cheeses and roasted. Tasted Dec 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
