More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Valpantena is a cooperative with several hundred members. Over the years, the organization has evolved to run like clockwork, creating masterful wines from grapes coming from multiple sources. This fine Amarone is a case in point. Look for dried plum, raspberry, smoke and earth tones. Dry and fairly fruity and robust with ripe tannins giving the wine good structure. This will easily age another four or five years, but can be enjoyed tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
