The editorial staff of Falstaff (www.falstaff.de) awards 92 points to the Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico of the Cantina di Negrar line, vintage 2015.
Here the review of the Amarone Tasting published on the number 7/2018 of the German magazine, also distributed in Switzerland and Austria.
“Dunkles, kraftvolles Rubinrot mit leicht aufhellendem Rand Nicht ganz klar definierte Nase, wirkt leicht verschlossen, zart nach Schokolade und Amarena Im Trunk durchwegs ausgewogen mit erstaunlicher Frische, hat Saft und ist zügig, im mittleren Teil geschliffenes Tannin, endet im Abgang lange und animierend. “
The 2015 vintage was a very balanced year, even if the summer was fairly dry, during which time the excess water supply from the rainy
2014 nourished the vines. Thanks to the warm and prolonged summer temperatures, the vines notably developed their photosynthesis, increasing the concentration of sugars and colours. The 2015 vintage is marked for its great balance and longevity, with very soft and sweet tannins.
