St. John Villa Rizzardi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2001 Guerrieri Rizzardi

Ah, if it's good quest'Amarone! And over time, is still improving.
confess (it's a sin? Do not know) is not usually a super-fan of the Reds Amarone, for drinking at the table is often difficilino drink it, and therefore need more than anything to taste them. Or use them for what Americans call the special occasion.
But when I find a bottle of Amarone who has the good balance, well, 'I am ready to see me again, to reconsider. And in this case I have no doubt: the Villa Rizzardi Amarone 2001 is one of those very good.
M'era liked about a year and a half ago. I found the table one evening the week of Vinitaly em'ha surprised How much further increased, exclusivity, elegance. And these are the prerogatives - along with the drink - that above all I want in a wine.
The nose and mouth is a riot of ripe red fruit - but not overripe, not marmellatoso - and then of oriental spices, as well - so much - of medicinal herbs, alpine. There

thirty Vigna, easy to understand: it was created by Rebo Rigotti (hence the name: un'autointitolazione) Istituto Agrario di San Michele. But perhaps more than in Trentino, is causing a few years attention to the Lombard shore of Lake Garda. Where it is experienced alone, or support all'autoctono groppello. I found a great interpretation
by Pratello, company hills Valtenesi Padenghe (ha, among other things, good restaurant, almost all farm products, even meat and sausages, to be tested). The Rebus 2005 has character and elegance.
nose between the flower (also wilted) and fruit (blackberries and plums, mostly).
Mouth dense, and hence also nice momentum, which maintains the freshness and prolong the fruity tone. Tannin is lying. In the background, a reminder of walnut. Red
good satisfaction. Two
happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
