Marion Vini's 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella is a red wine from Veneto, made in the traditional style where grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate flavors and boost alcohol. The result is a wine of depth and power, built to age gracefully.
Dark cherries and sage leap from the glass, underscored by stone dust and dark chocolate. On the palate it moves with vigor and liveliness, layered with salty minerals and dark wild berries that take on a distinctly savory character as it develops. Fine, powdery tannins carry the wine to a long finish, where rosy floral notes and saline minerality linger persistently. This is a wine built for patience and long cellaring, ready to evolve for years to come.
The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella is darkly alluring and intense, bursting from the glass with an array of crushed black cherries, sage, stone dust and dark chocolate. It sweeps across the palate, vibrant and lively, with masses of salty minerals and depths of dark wild berry fruits, taking on a distinctly savory quality toward the close. The 2019 finishes gently tannic and incredibly long, leaving rosy inner florals and a saline tinge that lingers on and on and on. The 2019 is simply stunning and geared for a long and steady evolution. (EG)
