Made with the three vinous protagonists of Valpolicella, Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, the Monte del Frà 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Tenuta Lena di Mezzo is definitely a hot-vintage wine. The fruit is super ripe and rich, with some stickiness and heaviness on the bouquet. The aromas recall sweet blackberry confit, spice, mesquite and spent ember. The wine delivers rich concentration and lots of fruit weight, with 15.5% alcohol. Production is 60,000 bottles.

A subtle red with fine tannins layered in the medium- to full-bodied frame with flavors of black cherry, dried cranberry, Earl Grey tea and smoky mineral. Lightly chewy finish. Corvina and Rondinella. Drink now through 2026. 7,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
