| Notes | "This is a smokey and savory expression from Valpolicella in Northeast Italy. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Famiglia Pasqua is a very attractive wine that offers ample power and intensity along the way. This is a big-boned effort with thick layers of dark fruit, prune, raisin and blackberry preserves that peel back with slow layering. Exotic spice and moist chewing tobacco appear on the close." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Ripe dark-skinned berry, cedar and vanilla lead the nose. The savory, full-bodied palate offers blackberry jam, tobacco and star anise alongside firm, fine-grained tannins." (Wine Enthusiast) |
