Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella 2008
Deep red with aromas of fruit jam, black and red cherries and vanilla. Perfumed aromatics of dried fruit and spice come from the appassimento process and add further complexity. On the palate this breathtaking Amarone Classico is a full-bodied, elegant, complex and velvety wine displaying epic layers of figs, dark cherries, baking spices and a finish reminiscent of a Toblerone. This Italian treasure is truly mesmerizing now, and will evolve gracefully in the next few years (if you have the patience), peaking around 2016 in our estimate.
