The wine has a deep, dark garnet colour. The classical cherry flavours of Amarone are immediately perceptible to the nose, with the preponderant notes of Marasca and sour cherry. The wine presents a great variety of characters, from fresh fruit to jamlike tones, which offer a very harmonious aftertaste, alternating with spicy elements. The ample nose has a sweet impact and spreads in a continuous chain of sensations. The wine opens up in the mouth with aftertastes of all the red-berry fruits, besides vanilla on soft, heavy-duty cloth.
Wine Spectator

A clean and refreshing Amarone, with decent spicy raisiny fruit and light vanilla character. Medium-bodied, with a pleasant tangy fruit palate and finish. Drink now.
Wine Enthusiast

Dry and maturing, with aromatic notes of tea, toast, cherry and earth. Not a ton of complexity or layering here. Instead it's straightforward and lean, with a hint of saline to the finish.
