2018 Mazzi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Punta di Villa, Veneto, Italy

From a blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, and 5% field blend, comes this beautiful Amarone that’s at once dense and lifted. The 30-year-old vines grown in mineral rich soils bring density and impact to the palate in the form of rich black fruits, fig, leather, and pipe smoke. On the palate, the notes follow through, along with a touch of red fruit that lifts what is otherwise a dark, deep, and rich Amarone.
