Vajo dei Masi Amarone 1997

The 1997 vintage was a generous one for the northern Italian region of Veneto. An early heatwave in March led to great conditions for early and full ripening of grapes. After a quarter century of age, this large-format Amarone will be full, rich and complex, with fascinating flavours of dried fig, roasted almond, espresso, sweet tobacco, and burnt brown sugar.
