"Imagine warm strawberry-cherry compote mingling with night-blooming jasmine and violet petals. The story starts floral and bright, then shifts as fine tannins frame everything in silk while pomegranate and wild cherry keep the energy flowing. A Riserva that proves concentration doesn't need weight." —Wine Enthusiast

"The 2019 Amarone Classico Costasera Riserva is a seductress, bursting from the glass with a collage of spiced orange, rosemary, cedar box and dried black cherries. It pulses across the palate with energy and verve, displaying tart wild berry fruits and sour citrus tones propelled by a core of zesty acidity. Despite its energy, the 2019 shows fantastic complexity throughout and finishes with a classically dry sensation and a framework of sweet tannins." —Vinous

"A complex and deep wine. Highlights of dark chocolate and black pepper over black cherries. Refined and condensed tannins with exuberant, racy acidity and full body. Powerful, this has cellaring potential. Drinkable now but best from 2029." —James Suckling
