1995 Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

The 1995 Amarone has developed beautifully. It remains firm and vibrant, with lovely complexity in its perfumed red cherries, licorice, leather, mint and flowers. Still big and full-bodied, the 1995 promises to drink well for a number of years. It is a magnificent effort from Allegrini. Much of the wine's freshness can be attributed to a cold, rainy spring that resulted in an uneven flowering and naturally lower yields.
