Brigaldara "CASE VECIE" Amarone
| Vintage: | 2016 |

| Description: | Organically Farmed. This is a great choice for sharing with friends and family : it's a robust, warming wine for sipping on chilly evenings at the end of dinner, whether on its own or accompanied by a cheese plate. Founded in 1928, Brigaldara is among the great producers of Amarone, which is made by drying late-harvested grapes very slowly. Since there is less water in the grapes when they are ultimately crushed together, the resulting wine is concentrated in flavor and texture, and warmingly high in alcohol. What makes this particular Amarone from Brigaldara outstanding owes much to the ideal high altitude of their organically farmed Casa Vecie vineyard, which in 2016 allowed for a long, slow growing season. These conditions led to a wonderfully complex spectrum of flavors, while preserving a balancing undercurrent of acidity that gives it all life. While intense in ripe fruit flavors, this Amarone is true to its role as a dry wine. We suggest taking your time once this is in the glass, as it will evolve with new aromas to discover !. Antonio Galloni; Vinous 96+ Points - "The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Case Vecie seduces with a beguiling and lifted mix of crushed stone, dusty rose and bright cherry. This is dark and velvety, moody in feel yet seductive and pliant, simply harmonious, mixing salty minerals and ripe rich red fruits and spices, hints of mocha and inner violet florals. There's simply so much going on here. The 2016 tapers off incredibly long and structured. It's still easy to like today with floral rose and violet tones, along with a bitter twang of balsamic spice. A simply stunning Case Vecie." |
