2017 | Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella | Veneto 1.5L Mendoza Uco Valley Rita Hills Pinot Noir and65% Corvina, 25% Rondinella with 5% each of Corvinone and Negrara. A ripe nose of Morello cherry and underlying strawberry, raisin and figs. A powerful wine, with great concentration and a smoothing acidity, a little residual sweetness but great harmony in the structure. Supple and quite silky with a kiss of sweetness. Long, exquisite balance. 97 Pts Decanter
