The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens up with an inviting yet somewhat understated mix of peppery florals, cherry liquor, plums and sage. Here I’m finding silky textures offset by tart wild berry fruits, salty minerals and brisk acids in an expression that is much more savory than sweet. A coating of fine tannins lingers, along with a note of baker’s chocolate. I have to give Farina credit for creating such a versatile and balanced expression of Amarone.

Plum, blackberry and other dark fruit notes. Tobacco and some vanilla. Lighter than your typical Amarone but delicious nonetheless.

Cherry, pepper. Noticeable alcohol in a good way. Good at $40
