"The flagship: 70% corvina, 25% rondinella and a smidgeon of the oft-forgotten molinara for welcome freshness. Only south-west facing hillside fruit is used for the Amarones here, promoting a longer and slower appassimento process. Often the grapes are still on the vine come November, with extended appassimento on traditional bamboo racks. The formidable level of dry extract is consummate across a spread of bitter cherry, amaro bitters and dried herbs, strewn across the long, impressive finish. I like this. A wine for drinking rather than for the mantle. A very good opening act. Drink now." James Suckling, 93 Points
"Opens with aromas of fig, black-cherry compote and spiced prunes that give way to wild herbs, allspice and fresh earth. The palate is rich, yet in balance with vibrant acidity that keeps the lush blackberry preserve note in balance. The wine finishes with roast coffee, bitter chocolate and subtle cigar box notes." The Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
"A fresh red, with well-knit tannins and savory notes of cured tobacco and smoke, transitioning to reveal ripe cherry and black plum fruit. Offers iron and mineral accents on the finish. Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella. Drink now through 2033." The Wine Spectator, 91 Points
