Speri Vigneto Monte Sant’Urbano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2020

The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant’Urbano seduces with a savory and darkly alluring blend of dried black cherries, mentholated herbs, clove and shavings of citrus-laced dark chocolate. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, showcasing stunning minerality as crisp red berry fruits cascade across a core of stimulating acidity. It finishes incredibly long, leaving a salty flourish and a bitter cocoa twang as grippy tannins frame the experience beautifully. The 2020 possesses an incredibly classic feel. Drinking window: 2027-2040. (Eric Guido,vinous.com,Sept. 25, 2025)
