Dal Forno Amarone 2015

Vapolicella, Veneto, Italy

The nose is a bit closed and takes some time (and temperature) to emerge. Dark fruits and vanilla oak. A touch jammy but with loads of acidity and a pleasant bitterness. After a while it opens up to reveal dried hibiscus, brandied prunes, cocoa and tea. A bit closed at the moment – there is an even bolder wine set to emerge with patience. Drink 2024-2030.
