Amarone della Valpolicella

Riserva

This 2016 is the first release of this Riserva Amarone from the Barila vineyard on the Maternigo estate, and it's a stunner. After around four months of appassimento and a very long 90-day post-fermentation maceration, the wine is matured in Slavonian oak for 48 months. The closed nose offers little at the moment, other than some subtle cocoa powder and black cherry. It comes alive in the mouth, however, displaying super-concentrated tarry black berries allied to balsamic freshness and tongue-tingling spice. Textured and long, there's a hint of meatiness on the finish alongside some violet lift. Power combined with elegance.
