Michele Castellani Cinque Stelle Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018

A refined and very silky expression of Amarone with lots of crushed currants and berries that form a tight bead on the the full to medium palate. The tannins are quite firm and need time to bind with the fruit even better. Lovely hint of chocolate comes through. This is super clean and focused Amarone that is built to last. Delicious to taste, but give it until 2024. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 22, 2021)
