wine review: Santi “Carlo Santi 1843” Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2019 (preview)

Verona, Italy

Matt’s review: The pre-release preview of Santi’s 2019 “Carlo Santi 1843” Amarone showed great harmony, complexity, and overall potential from this five star vintage. Ruby with a slight garnet hue, the nose shows dried plum, cherry, orange peel, herbs, and expressive spice notes. Great intensity, beautifully balanced with loads of dried fruit, spice, and herbs on the long finish. Santi’s Carlo Santi Amarone is anticipated to be released to market in fall 2024. Enjoy 2025-2040. Tasted February 2024. 94+ points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
