The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneti Vallata di Marano, a blend of 65% Corvina and Corvinone Veronese and 35% Rondinella, with the full [...] air-drying treatment in the fruttaio, really shows the character of these limestone soils here by the foothills of the Dolomites. Specifically, the fruit comes from [...] between 200 and 350 meters above sea level. This wine finishes its aging in large Slavonian oak casks in part, with another part that goes into barrique for 18 months.

Ripe dark-fruit, clove and tobacco aromas lead the nose. The structured palate delivers prune, black pepper and espresso alongside tightly wound tannins.
