“Allegrini’s 2003 Amarone Classico (80% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta) reveals a super-opulent, engaging texture packed with sweet cocoa, dark fruit, cassis, blackberries, roasted coffee beans and licorice. It finishes with notable length and surprising finish for the vintage. According to Allegrini the rain that fell in July was critical in maintaining some balance in the wine. This medium to full-bodied wine is an outstanding example of a more restrained, clean style of Amarone.”
“The 2006 Palazzo della Torre comes across as somewhat restrained for this wine. This is a very polished, elegant Palazzo della Torre with pretty layers of mocha, spices and new leather that add complexity to the fresh, vibrant fruit. Palazzo della Torre is 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese. The addition of 30% dried fruit (Amarone style) adds an extra dimension of complexity. The retro 1970's label is also quite attractive. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.”

"Standing head and shoulders above the oceans of characterless Proseccos on the market, Umberto Bortolotti’s wines are made by hand achieve wonderful aromatic complexity and structure. His Prosecco is a phenomenal value, a sparkling wine that does not try to mimic Champagne, but is the very best example of its own unique region and style. Umberto’s commitment to quality and artisan winemaking proves that sparkling wine can be inexpensive without lacking in quality."
