Castellore, Specially Selected, Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy 2018

Tasted by:
(at Tate Modern, London, 11 Sep 2023)
Drinking Window: 2023 - 2025
Though it is part of the festive November launch, I suspect this might be the same wine released under a Saveroni label in spring 2022. Even if it is, it is still drinking well, showing all of the style's classic hallmarks: zippy acidity, high-toned flavours of soused and dried cherries, firm slightly drying tannins and toasty oak.
