Famiglia Pasqua Amarone 2013

This is a smokey and savory expression from Valpolicella in Northeast Italy. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Famiglia Pasqua is a very attractive wine that offers ample power and intensity along the way.

This is a big-boned effort with thick layers of dark fruit, prune, raisin and blackberry preserves that peel back with slow layering. Exotic spice and moist chewing tobacco appear on the close.
