2016 Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico RugolaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
1/18/2024 - Davemoreal wrote: NRFrom the Veneto wine region, Fabiano Rugola 2016 Amarone Valpolicella Classico is an elegant, rich and concentrated blend of 40% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Croatina wine grapes. Dark ruby in the glass with ripe red berry, cherry and balsamic aromas on the nose, the wine is dry, full-bodied and intense with liquid cherry, red berry, savoury herbs, chocolate and dark spice flavours finishing smooth and long on the palate. Pour with rich meaty dishes or a Bistecca Florentine. Drink or hold. |

1/18/2024 - Davemoreal wrote: 94 points'I Fondatori' translates to 'the founders.' Nicola Fabiano crafts this limited-production Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella in honour of his grandfather Francesco and father, Sergio. The perfect wine for celebrating someone special in your life. Drink through 2027, and likely beyond.[Luca Maroni tasting note not available.] Score - 94. |

1/18/2024 - Davemoreal wrote: 83 pointsCalifornia Cabernet is amazingly popular - and rightly so! This one is loaded with fig preserve, nuts, toast, herbs and honey. It's an amazingly value-priced Cali Cab ideal for barbecued ribs or rare steak. |

2017 Michele Castellani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Collezione Ca del Pipa Cinque StelleCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
1/18/2024 - Davemoreal wrote: 93 pointsA fresh and elegant Amarone, trimmed by sleek, integrated tannins and displaying a lovely range of crushed black cherry and ripe damson plum fruit with accents of red licorice, tea leaf and ground white pepper. Though medium- to full-bodied and focused, this wears its weight well, harmonious through to the lingering, minerally finish of iron and smoke. Drink now through 2030. Score - 93.

2020 Zenato Lugana Chardonnay del Veneto Riserva Sergio Zenatomore |
1/17/2024 - Davemoreal wrote: 92 pointsA decadent burst of vanilla bean and almond paste gives way to a more refined and pretty mix of crushed apples, lemon oil and spices as the 2020 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato comes to life in the glass. It's silky-smooth and supple with a textural wave of ultra-ripe orchard fruits perfectly balanced by saline minerals and tongue-curling acidity. The 2020 lingers impossibly long while remaining wonderfully fresh, with hints of citrus custard and sweet spice that linger on and on. The Riserva Sergio Zenato finds a lovely balance between oak influence and the zesty character of Trebbiano di Lugana. Drinking window: 2023-2028. Score - 92. (Eric Guido, vinous.com, Dec., 2022) |
