Cesari Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2017
Winemaker Notes
On the nose, the typical notes of raisined fruit and cherry flavors are dominant. Mild hints of vanilla and spice are present as well. Elegant and warm with a velvety mouthfeel. Incredibly long, persistent finish that lingers on the palate. Amarone ages gracefully for upwards of 10 years if stored properly.

92Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An approachable blend of 75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella with 5% Rossignola and Negrara, the Cesari 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico comes in a frosted bottle with a cream-colored label. It offers a compact and bright quality, although tones of scorched earth and black olive do emerge with time to remind you of the hot 2017 growing season. This is a full-bodied wine, and the fruit remains quite lively despite the 15% alcohol content and the appassimento process.
91James Suckling
An elegant Amarone with some spiced cherries, tile and roasted Mediterranean herbs that follow through to a juicy, medium-bodied palate. Fresh and drinkable with fine-grained tannins. It could do with a tad more mid-palate concentration. A very good Amarone for early drinking.
