This is a soft wine in terms of mouthfeel with sweet tannins and broad texture. This wine has the alcoholic power (at 15%) to pair with cheesy lasagna. The blend is 65% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 10% Corvinone.

A creamy, medium-bodied red, with light, sculpted tannins and flavors of crushed cherry, chopped dark chocolate, dried herb and spice. Drink now through 2021. 40,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
