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

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

2019 Zýmē Amarone showcases the excellence of the 2019 vintage and demonstrates what is possible with this iconic winery. Celestino Gaspari, the winemaker behind Zýmē, is now one of the most renowned names in Valpolicella winemaking. His journey began alongside the iconic Giuseppe Quintarelli, arguably the most revered producer in Valpolicella history. These formative years working with Quintarelli laid the foundation for Gaspari's progressive and curious approach, which has led Zýmē to become one of the most respected ultra-premium wineries in Valpolicella.
