The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece comes from a classic tradition and from a vintage that shows richness, generosity and exuberance. The blend is mostly Corvina and Corvinone (80% of the blend) with smaller parts Dindarella, Rondinella and Oseleta. The wine is made with five months of appassimento and provides a medium level of sweetness that adds to the volume and richness of the mouthfeel. The high 16.5% alcohol drives a powerful finish. This full-bodied Amarone with rich and dark concentration ages in barrique for 32 months, and you get plenty of spice and toasted smoke as a result. This is a very happy, fruit-filled vintage and the most robust wine in this flight. Serve it with braised meats. Only 5,000 bottles were made. (Monica Larner, Aug 2019)
