This is Amarone! Not the usual depth of purply black often found in this King of Wines: Corte Lavel Amarone della Valpolicella 2013 $95 This wine offers serious competition to any Amarone priced between $100-$200. Really light in colour totally unexpected for an Amarone, presenting a nose of black plums, some smoky oak notes coupled with medicinal herbaceous notes. The palate again offers a rich depth of complexity, black plums coupled with dark cherries and raspberries. Really fresh and bright the fruit is still very primary and acids hidden, tannins are so so fine. This is a really fresh bright example of Amarone, totally unexpected but totally awesome you should try this wine if you want to see what Amarone is all about...or try it’s sibling the Corte Lavel Valpolicella Ripasso. Oh and I forgot to mention they are made by Marion wines, one of the top wineries in the Veneto #cortelavel #amaronedellavalpolicella #marionwines #redwine #winetasting #igwine #amazingwine #corvina #rondinella #winetime #veneto #valpolicella #appassimento #ilovemyjob (at Petersham, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvgOH1LgV1y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ly1c5mp3fthq
