Allegrini veneto - amarone classico - 2004 - 750ml

Robert Parker - 91 points: The 2004 Amarone Classico reveals well - articulated aromatics that lead to a poised expression of dark fruit, all supported by silky, refined tannins. This is a medium - bodied style of Amarone with a relatively low level of residual sugar of four grams per liter, which gives the wine its somewhat restrained personality. While I have no doubt this wine can age, I would prefer to enjoy it relatively young. Allegrini uses a combination of small barrels and larger casks for their Amarone, which is made from 80% Corvina Veronese, 15% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta.
