Speri 2008 Vigneto Monte Sant’Urbano (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Country: Italy / Vigneto Monte Sant’Urbano
Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Veneto
Winery: Speri / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

From one of the Valpolicella’s best producers, this vineyard-designate Amarone is amazingly soft and velvety, with aromas of softly worn leather, moist chewing tobacco, ripe black cherry and barbecue smoke. It’s an elegant but modern rendition, showing power, intensity and impressive length. Best yet, the fruit is young enough to promise more years of graceful aging.
