IL FUORICLASSE AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO RISERVA D.O.C.G. 2016

Intense garnet red color. On the nose, the bouquet is very intense and broad, excellent, with hints of red fruit, cherry, marasca cherry in spirit, licorice, almond, spices, coffee and graphite. On the palate it is dry, robust, very persistent, and elegant. It recalls the retronasal sensations by enhancing the notes of graphite, marasca and spices.
