The Amarone Speri stands out as my top choice among the classics.
Enjoyed during a relaxed dinner in Verona, this 2017 already shows remarkable evolution, blending elegance with power.
Its ruby hue with garnet hints introduces a wine that unfolds beautifully in the glass, revealing a harmonious and complex aromatic profile.
It opens with notes of crisp red fruits and dried plum, followed by a rich tapestry of spices, undergrowth, mushroom, chocolate, and sweet licorice.
On the palate, it’s warm and enveloping, exuding rare elegance. The tannins are smooth and perfectly integrated, with a softness that balances the wine’s bold structure. Despite its intensity, there’s an underlying delicacy that makes it captivating.
The persistence is excellent, and while already enjoyable, this vintage promises further evolution with bottle aging.
