Santa Sofia Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018

Intense ruby red with subtle garnet brightening. A seductive, slightly perfumed nose with lots of cherry and raspberry, vanilla and cloves and a hint of milk chocolate. Pleasant sweet fruit on the palate, full-bodied and juicy, silky tannins and lively acidity with a savoury finish. Score – 93. (Othmar Kiem & Simon Staffler, falstaff.com, Jan. 12, 2023)
