Rich red color and very intense bouquet with spicy, aromatic and jammy notes combining power and finesse; a prelude to a palate that is rich, sensuous, highly structured and complex, with a lingering finish.
Vinous

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano is dusty and darkly alluring, as dried flowers and incense gives way to nuances of cocoa and, with time in the glass, a vivid note of black cherry. This is texturally deep and savory in style, coming across as almost salty in character, with an intense and saturating core of raspberry and cherry. Exotic spices, dark, dark chocolate and clove develop toward the close. This tapers off long and staining, lightly structured, needing only a short stay in the cellar to come together. Speri did a remarkable job of maintaining balance in such a warm and difficult vintage.

Floral and high-toned on the nose, this light-footed red offers a spicy underpinning and brambly notes of wild cherry and strawberry fruit, while Black tea leaf and salty mineral notes show through on the finish. There's focus here, and depth to the flavor range, but in weight and form it's akin to a lighter, brighter style of Valpolicella. Drink now through 2024.
