wine review: Tedeschi Ansari Amarone della Valpolicella 2017

Ottawa, ON

September 2022

Matt’s review: Tedeschi’s Ansari Amarone 2017 is the Tedeschi family’s newest Amarone offering, now in its second vintage following its inaugural 2016 vintage, an exceptional vintage by all accounts. This rich and delicious wine is crafted following the selection of the three best barrels of Amarone by each of the three Tedeschi siblings: Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo (AnSaRi…). At 17.5%, it’s big and beautiful, with great complexity, texture, freshness, and overall balance. Expect ripe and dried dark fruits, cherries, evergreen notes, and cacao. An accessible icon in the making from this storied Valpolicella famiglia. Enjoy 2022-2035. Available at LCBO mid 2022. Tasted June 2022. 93 points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
