Note di degustazione
Brown rim, porty and beefy on the nose with a bit of dark chocolate and dried fruit. There's proper complexity and weight, with long, fleshy fruit on the finish. Savoury, verging on the austere side for Amarone. I wouldn't keep it any longer – drink this now to enjoy all its feral goodness. (RH)

The 2005 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a relatively straightforward wine but I loved it for its superb balance and harmony. Sweet red cherries, herbs, leather, spices and earthiness are buffered by finessed tannins as this soft-textured wine opens in the glass. This is a great introduction to Amarone. Curiously, the 2005 comes across as more advanced than the 2004, and I would choose to drink it on the young side.

I was very impressed with the wines I tasted from Brigaldara. The Amarone is aged in cask and is made in a fairly approachable style, while the single-vineyard Amarone Case Vecie is a richer wine that also sees some French oak. Both wines are well worth seeking out. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
