Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2001
E-mail this item from Nicholas Roberts Ltd.Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2001 Deep purple in color with a powerful bouquet of warm, spicy raisined fruit. Rich and full bodied, intense and elegant. Velvety smooth. Amarone is an extremely important wine in Italian viticulture as it is unique to the Valpolicella region. This wine is traditionally drunk with game, roasted and grilled meats, casseroles and well matured cheeses. Excellent with hearty dishes. Since the grapes are allowed to dry partially before fermenting, Amarone has a distinctive flavor which can also accompany new or exotic sweet and sour dishes. It is therefore also perfectly suited for drinking with Asian and middle-eastern dishes. Serve at 16°C - (61°F) and open the bottle an hour before drinking. Wine Spectator A superclean, juicy Amarone, with concentrated dried black fruit and a well-concealed, smooth oak note. Full-bodied, with fine tannins that give the palate an elegant poise and prolong the fruity finish. Classy and refined, with a long finish. Drink now through 2012. 12,500 cases made. Score: 93.
