Not the most complex or balanced Amarone, but a very flavorful introduction to the genre of wine made from partially-dried grapes at a bargain price.Earthy, deeply-fruity, with some pleasant pruney and tarry notes.
Very dark brickish ruby color. Very fragrant, with low-toned, deep scents of ripe dark berries, prune brandy, and rich earth. Mouthfilling, with huge body and deep fruit consisting mostly of oozing black and red berries and prunes. Long if not complex finish clings to the inside of the mouth. Not as hot on the finish as I expected. This was only $16.99 at Trader Joe's in Clarendon. It's made by a co-op in the region and represents an excellent value. B. Imported by Santini Fine Wines in San Lorenzo, Cal.
