The 2017 Giuseppe Campagnola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a remarkable expression of its region, earning a stellar 94 points from James Suckling. This wine captivates with its rich bouquet of dried cherries, dark chocolate, and a hint of spice, reflecting the sun-drenched hills of Valpolicella where the grapes are meticulously dried before fermentation. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture and a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity, with flavors of ripe plum and a whisper of tobacco lingering on the finish. It’s an excellent companion for hearty dishes like osso buco or aged cheeses, making it a perfect choice for a cozy dinner party. This Amarone not only showcases the depth of Italian winemaking but also delivers exceptional value, making it a smart buy for anyone seeking quality without compromise.
