Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2007 – Score: 93
Country: Italy
Region: Veneto Issue: Oct 31, 2011
There’s a sanguine edge to this firm red, with a streak of minerality underscoring flavors of sour and red cherry, cigar box and red
currant, with just a touch of sun-dried tomato. There’s a dense weave, yet this is still light-weight and silky on the palate. Best from 2013 through 2027. 725 cases imported. –AN

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Capitel Monte Olmi 2006- Score: 93
Country: Italy
Region: Veneto Issue: Oct 31, 2011
A thread of peat smoke runs through this moretraditional-style Amarone, which offers flavors of roasted plum, dried cherry, raisin, cigar box, pekoe tea and pepper, with other ground spices. Tightly packed tannins push through on the long finish. This is one for the cellar.
Best from 2014 through 2036. 75 cases imported. –AN

Valpolicella Classico Superiore La Fabriseria 2007 – Score: 92
Country: Italy
Region: Veneto Issue: Oct 31, 2011
An aromatic red with a meaty edge, showing accents of violet and dried marjoram weaving through the layered flavors of crème de cassis,
grilled nuts, pure black cherry and spice box, all wrapped around firm tannins. Just a baby, but already showing fine integration and balance. Drink now through 2025. 75 cases imported. –AN
