94 / 100"Savory berries and dried blackberries on the nose, together with oranges, dark chocolate and dry earth. Full-bodied and fine-grained palate, with a tight structure and fantastic balance, which indicates good aging potential. Long and savory, yet reserved. A textbook Amarone with freshness, savoriness and concentration"

Tasting Notes
Budding took place in the first week of April, and flowering was a few days earlier than the historical average. The slightly delayed veraison ended in mid-August. The high temperatures in August, above the seasonal average, allowed a good ripening of the grapes and an acceleration of the ripening itself, arriving at the harvest on September 10th, a bit earlier than the historical averages. 3 years maturation in large format Slavonian oak casks.
