The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from Villa Crine Winery is a refined and powerful expression of this renowned Italian wine. Crafted using the appassimento method, where grapes are dried before fermentation, this Amarone develops remarkable depth, structure, and complexity over time. With already 10 years of age on this wine, it's showing beautiful development in the glass.
