Tenute Fiorebelli Coste Bianche Valpolicella Amarone 2015

This hearty red has aromas of scorched earth, dry forest floor, French oak and grilled herb. The robust palate shows the heat of the vintage, offering raisin, toasted oak, licorice and clove alongside dusty drying tannins and modest acidity.

Fragrant blue flower, ripe plum, vanilla and a whiff of chocolate come together in the glass. The smooth, full-bodied palate doles out ripe black cherry, raspberry jam and vanilla alongside round, velvety tannins. It ends on a smoky note.
