Tasting notes
The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece is a super robust and powerful wine with an inky dark and impenetrable appearance. The wine is packed tight with thick fruit, alcohol (measuring 16.5%), rich extract and all sorts of mature fruit flavors, aromas and textural material. This is the proverbial too-much-of-a-good-thing.

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece wafts up with blood orange and spice giving way to blackberries, currants and sweet herbs. It’s silky and staining with blue-tinged fruits and inner florals-like liquid extract, as dark chocolate and raspberry liqueur come through. There's so much depth here, as this seems almost salty in character. It’s incredibly long with a sweet flourish and unexpectedly fresh. The 2017 is so incredibly easy to like.
