Organic/Bio When it's cold outside, this is the wine to warm you up. As Vinous says in the 94 piont write-up: "A dusting of cocoa powder gives way to blood orange and dried black cherries as the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella smolders up from the glass. It's velvety smooth yet lifted and refined, with a polished wave of mineral-drenched wild berry fruits complicated by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and balsamic spice. This leaves a mentholated freshness and a tart hint of clove, finishing long and structured with saturating tannins that clamp down hard. The 2018 is intense yet possesses amazing balance."

For You If:  You're looking for a rich, chocolaty, mouth-coating, warming red to pair with rich food or just a few bites of cheese.

Not For You If:  You're not ok with a bit of alcohol - Amarone's dried grape production method means higher abv like here at 16.5%
