Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, the 2016 Ca’Erto Amarone Della Valpolicella is a standout from Italy’s iconic Veneto region. This wine showcases the character of the vintage, with concentrated flavors of dried cherry, fig, and a subtle hint of cocoa, alongside a structured, velvety finish. It’s not just the flavors that impress, but the balance and complexity that this Amarone brings to the table. Perfectly suited for an intimate dinner, it pairs beautifully with rich dishes like osso buco or wild mushroom risotto. Given the quality and the prestige of an Amarone, finding this at such a value is a true rarity. It’s a smart buy that delivers well beyond its peers.
