“Fragrant, and delightfully fresh, this shows delicate red fruit on the nose with a polished but authentic charm. An ideal choice for a casual lunch, this is bright and pretty, bringing together ripe cherry and dark berry notes to partner flashes of violet scents. Very subtle, but plenty of personality to compliment its mineral finesse. A simple but effective wine.”
“Clove, liquorice and wild herb jostles with swirling notes of plum, blackberry and tobacco to offer an enticingly complex nose. Medium bodied, with velvety rich tannins and deep waves of black fruit compote, this is a fine example of balanced and elegant ripasso. Showcases both terroir and the power of the technique.”
“A lighter style of Amarone that leans on impressive fragrance and a fresh, floral personality. Still young and a little closed, but plenty of violets and rose petal on the nose to compliment a subtle note of black fruit. A firm, structured palate holds up a graceful curtain of forest fruits and sweet spice. Elegant and deftly balanced, it’s an unassuming and authentic contender, but unmistakably Amarone.”
“A bright and fun nose of summer fruits, with lots of vibrant and juicy berry flavours. Red fruit predominantly, although a backbone of black fruit and chocolate runs through it. Attractive, fresh, authentic.”
“Restrained nose gradually reveals layers of black fruit and damp earth. Takes a while to open out but when it does, it seduces with elegant floral aromas, ethereal fragrances of violets, spice and chocolate. Thunderous waves of blackcurrant compote engulf a robust, tannic structure. Matched by prominent acidity and alcohol to ensure a top wine and a triumph for the Mazzi family.”
