2018 Ca' dei Frati Pietro Dal Cero (barrel sample) - Rich deep colour, the nose shows dried dark fruits, cassis, prune, and sweet spices with great intensity. The palate is concentrated with delicious dried fruit and spices. Remarkable freshness on the long and beautifully balanced finish. This barrel sample of fine Amarone shows it's approachable style while young while its great structure will enable medium to long term cellaring. Enjoy 2024-2040+. 94 points.
wine review: 2018 Clementi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (barrel sample)
Deeply coloured, opaque core, nose shows impressive freshness alongside the rich dried dark fruit and cacao notes. Great concentration and purity of the fruit with well integrated tannins, great structure, this early preview is impressive with great potential for when it’s released in the coming years. Tasted during Amarone Opera Prima in Verona, Italy, February 2023. Enjoy 2028-2048+. 94-95 points.
