I agree with WS review of this wine which Otis opened at his party. Like all Amarone, the local grape varieties on Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara are dried to raisinlike fruit to concentrate the flavor before they are vinified.

This wine was less Amaronelike and more Tuscanlike. It had a good deep red color. The fruit was not bitter at all and the wine was quite smooth. Notes of cherry and earth. 89-90 points.

Can't add much, since I don't remember how this tasted. from past experience, I do know that it is one of the best $25 Amarones I've run across. You usually have to fork out around $40 to get a nice one.

Cheers,

Otis
