Variety: 60 % Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 20% Corvinoni
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy

Winery Review: This dense and concentrated Amarone offers an intense bouquet of marinated cherry, blackberry and tobacco. The palate delivers rich flavors of blackberry, prune, licorice and a touch of carob, along with round tannins and soft acidity. It has layers of flavor and nice depth. -92

My Review: As the winery review describes, the first smell I got out of this wine was an intense cherry aroma with some tabacco. After tasting, there was definite tastes of licorice with hints of tobacco. The finish was very tannic and overall this wine was too heavy for me.
