Amarone della Valpolicella Sant' Urbano 2019

Wine in Black

Dieser 2019er verkörpert das, was ein herausragender Amarone sein sollte – ein Kraftpaket mit vielschichtigen Aromen, das die Essenz von konzentriertem Traubenextrakt einfängt. Die sorgfältige Vinifikation, angefangen bei der Auswahl und Trocknung der Trauben bis hin zur Reifung in Eichenfässern, hat einen Wein von beeindruckender Tiefe und Komplexität hervorgebracht.

James Suckling

A single Amarone here, from one vineyard. If there was the legislation to promote single vineyard wine, the estate would likely make more of them. But as it stands, there is not. A large-framed wine with a coil of tannins, operating like a spring of expansion, tension and promotion, sashaying notes of coffee grind, camphor, bitter chocolate, mocha, clove, olive, Fernet Branca, balsamic and pithy cherry notes long across the palate on one hand, while tightening the structural latticework to keep them contained, poised and eminently drinkable, on the other. The more I go back to this, the more I like it. A sophisticated Amarone, with a wonderful skein of acidity towing length.

Falstaff

Elegant shiny ruby colour with dark nuances. Opulent nose, sweet and savoury notes of strawberry confit, cinnamon, leather, a touch of iodine in the aftertaste, exciting. Baroque on the palate, stretches wide, lots of concentrated fruit, finest tannins, incredibly persistent.
