You can't help but fall in love with Brigaldara's delicious Amarone, especially if you love bold, dense wines. The aromas roll out slowly and with care, giving space to elements of cola, red cherry, blackberry, drying mineral and dark teriyaki sauce.

Compact yet still expressive, this offers a tarry base to well-knit flavors of black cherry, gumdrop, grilled herbs, clove and anise. Fresh acidity keeps this lively and focused, while fine-grained tannins and a graphite note gain momentum on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2025. 7,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico comes across as ripe, open and fleshy. Layers of extroverted fruit flow through to the juicy, expressive finish. Today the oak is a bit pronounced, but the wine should start to come together with further time in bottle. Readers who enjoy tertiary complexity and Amarone will have to wait a few years for the in-your-face style to settle down a bit.
