May 13, 2021 - This is not as beastly as some Amarones are in alcohol content, coming in at 15%, but it is quite elegant. Black cherries and raisins on the nose, with some pepper and leather. Medium body, and tannins. Black cherry on the palate as well, with green pepper, plum, and raisins. Great with homemade pasta and bolognese.
