Amarone della Valpolicella 2009
88

Tenuta Salvaterra - Amarone della Valpolicella 2009

Solid red
Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella
Italy - Valpolicella

Always a solid choice!

Salvaterra - Amarone della Valpolicella 2009 (88 tsomw points)

In the glass a ruby red cokor with garnet red hues.
On the nose powerful aromas of ripe plums, cacoa, violets and cedar. 
An intense broad palate of cherries, candied fruits, cocoa and hazelnut. Great.
