Here is a classic expression of Amarone from Pieropan, although the 16.5% alcohol certainly does leave its mark. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Vigna Garzon delivers rich and velvety fruit with dried cherry, plum, spice and Indian spice. This is a large-scale, full-bodied wine that sits heavy on the palate. This wine begs for roast pork or leg of lamb. Some 16,500 bottles were made.
