The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico (with an ample 300,000 bottles made) is a little tight and nervous at its core due to the slightly cooler vintage conditions. This expression shows a compact and linear bouquet with dried fruit, soft tannins and lingering spice. The fruit is submitted to 100 days of appassimento, and the blend of fruit represents a selection from various parcels. This wine was not made in 2014 (although Tommasi did produced its Recioto in that year).

Dried strawberry and violet notes are layered with supple tannins in this medium-bodied Amarone, underscored by accents of wild herb, singed orange peel and wood smoke that linger on the silky finish. Drink now through 2023. 3,200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
