Pasqua Cascina San Vincenzo Amarone della Valpolicella 2018

Barrel-fermented notes of smoked meats, with sweeter hints of kirsch, Asian plums and orange zest. The nicely pliant tannins reach across the full-weighted palate to compress the fruit. The overall feel is a contemporary take on Amarone, sweet and polished. Solid. Drink or hold. Score – 90. (Ned Goodwin, MW, jamessuckling.com, May 3, 2024)
