Dal Cero Amarone Della Valpolicella 2018

A magnificent and opulent Venetian red wine showcasing a deep ruby-garnet color. The complex and intense bouquet reveals luxurious aromas of dark cherry compote, dried plums, dark chocolate, and tobacco, beautifully accented by hints of warm baking spice and licorice. On the full-bodied palate, its velvety texture delivers rich, concentrated black fruit flavors that harmonize with fine-grained tannins and a long, warming finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs exquisitely with rich, slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted wild game, hearty stews, and mature artisanal cheeses like aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or Gorgonzola.

91 Points - James Suckling 

Graphite and salted chocolate dominate the nose of this wine, with dark cherries emerging in the glass. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it displays an austere profile with chalky tannins and moderate acidity. Drink or hold.
