The 2014 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva from Villa Crine Winery is an exceptional and meticulously aged wine that showcases the depth and elegance of Amarone at its finest. Made using the appassimento method, where grapes are dried before fermentation, this Riserva achieves extraordinary richness, balance, and refinement.
