An “old-school” Amarone that delivers very contemporary power and delight. It’s a classic blend of 70% Corvina/Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 5% Croatina and 5% Oseleta dried 3 months and aged in large oak. As Vinous says in the 93 point review, “opens with a dusty mix of black currants and lavender offset by clove and mocha hints. This shows the lift and finesse of the vintage while imparting undeniable elegance as depths of ripe red fruits are offset by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate.” A bold wine, but definitely drinkable.
For You If: You’re after Amarone with plenty of richness and dried fruit character that doesn’t turn sweet or sticky – this has excellent energy and firm, fine, tannins.
Not For You If: You’re looking for delicacy and finesse – Amarone is all about amplitude and power and this is classic Amarone!
“The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Antonio Castagnedi opens with a dusty mix of black currants and lavender offset by clove and mocha hints. This shows the lift and finesse of the vintage while imparting undeniable elegance as depths of ripe red fruits are offset by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate. The 2018 finishes structured with fine-grained tannins, licorice and inner violet florals.”
