And then a 1995 Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Steve Pride’s favorite of the tasting, which was chosen by Lou for its almost Burgundian style that contrasted with the 1995 Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto that followed. The Brigaldara might be described as another Port-like wine (or it was by some) except for the darkness of the fruit and its strong mineral and dry extract finish. Intriguing camphor aromas on the nose added to the complex, exotic raisiny aromas and flavors that came across as almost as light on its feet as the Bea.

Had with Parmigano Reggiano. A perfect pairing. Recalled a meeting with a Communist Business owner in Vicenza 34 years ago. Where we indulged in a big whhel of parmigiano and local wine.

Our last night in our old apartment. Ellen, surprisingly, loved it! Delicious slightly sweet amarone. Much better than the 97 Allegrini we tried 2 nights later.

Crazy good after all these years with licorice and mixed berries. Deep.
