Speri Vigneto Monte Sant'Urbano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019

A fresh, lightly exotic nose, offering dates, figs, fresh earth and a hint of toasted coconut. On the palate there's a fresh, focused bead of ripe and dried fruit, riding equally intense, firm tannins. Long finish. From organically grown grapes. There's a youthful feel to this. It's just at the start of a long life. Give it a year or so to settle in. Best from 2023. Score - 93

Gorgeous, seductive nose of fleshy black and purple plums that opens to an expansive, mouth-filling luscious textured palate of blackberry and smoke. Pair with brontosaurus burgers.
Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico food pairings: polenta dishes, pasta with a tomato sauce, roasted venison, beef stew.
