Carlo Santi 1843 Amarone della Valpolicella 2017 Review
It’s been a while since we’ve tasted an Amarone that truly wowed us, but this bottle certainly made an impression. Produced with the traditional technique of drying out grapes to enrich their sugar concentration and aromatic compounds, this wine embodies the boldness of a typical Amarone. Dried cranberries, plums, and cherries fill the palate with hints of cinnamon, mocha, and coffee. Even with the rich flavors and hearty 15.5 percent ABV, this Amarone still offers great elegance and balance.
