Giuliano Rosati Amarone della Valpolicella 2020

"Tommasi's traditional approach to Amarone favors elegance and balance, with deep fruit complemented by spicy, earthy flavors. The grapes come from the family's choicest plots in the Valpolicella Classica region. Through its commitment to quality and tradition, Tommasi has established itself as one of the principal ambassadors of Amarone in the world." —winemaker

"Dense and elegant with ripe, lush cherry fruit and a hint of chocolate and minerality. Great finesse, a vibrant acidity and a persistent finish." —winemaker

"Dark red hue in appearance. Concentrated, fragrant nose with top notes of cherry jam and cranberries, followed by hints of plum, dried fruit and cocoa. On the palate it is full, round, with velvety tannins, pleasantly tangy with a long finish, with notes of red berries and an alluring full flavor." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review- Only the ripest grapes that are picked in late October get chosen for this wine. Then the drying process begins (the Appassimento method) until the following January. The wine then gets put into Slovenion oak barrels and finishes the aging process. The result is a rich and lush wine that displays deep fruit flavors, hints of smoke and a deliciously, elongated finish. You can't do better for under $40. Cheers!
