Corvina, corvinone, rondinella and sangiovese. In the past, all grapes were dried. Only corvinone today is dried due to the large berry size and greater liquid-to-solid ratio. While the oak is evident, this is clearly a full-weighted wine built to age. With this in mind, it serves as a structural addendum rather than a scream. Dark saturated cherry notes, kirsch, licorice strap, black olive tapenade, and alpine herb, bound to an edgy twine of tannins, with an underlying raft of freshness conferring a sappy, crunchy feel and fine length. Drink or hold. —N.G.
What We Thought: Allegrini's baby Amarone never disappoints, and this vintage may be the best ever. Rich and full-bodied, this wine is filled with ripe plum and blackberry fruit, smoky vanilla-tinged oak, and supple tannins that make it a great match for rich foods, from roast lamb to lasagna.
