The 2016 Amarone Classico Costasera wafts up with rich notes of custard, cinnamon and dark chocolate before revealing its black cherry fruit. This is silky-smooth yet deep with herbal-tinged red and blue berries along with exotic inner florals. There’s a beautiful harmony here, as purple-tinged florals and autumnal spices linger incredibly long. The 2016 is only lightly structured, full of character and incredibly elegant. It’s a balanced pleasure bomb of an Amarone. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)

2016. Hearty full bodied with flavors of dried plum and date. Long lasting tannins and flavors, like including coffee.
