Friday September 8th:
MATERNIGO AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG RISERVA 2016 96 PTS
Shows a lot of reserve on the nose with a tight package of baked red-cherry aromas and some bright mineral, almost wet-stone character. Mediterranean herbs, too. Full-bodied palate that’s again under control, but there’s a dense package of firm, fine tannin, dried fruit and spice waiting to burst out. Hard to believe this is 17% alcohol, it’s so well constructed. This will be superb in a year or two and onwards, if you can resist the temptation now. Best from 2023. (July 25th)
CAPITEL NICALO’ VALPOLICELLA DOC SUPERIORE 2019 92 PTS
Very pleasant notes of lightly spiced aronia berries and a hint of sous bois, following through to a medium body with lightly firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, bright finish, leaving an aftertaste of cherry dark chocolate. Serious Vaplo and delicious. Drink now. (June 26th)
Saturday September 9th:
ANSARI AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG 2016 95 PTS
This is really something, offering so much spiced dried fruit, chocolate, light raisin and spice, such as clove. Light bitterness at the end. It’s full-bodied and layered with so much going on. Gorgeous now. Why wait? Drink or hold.
CAPITEL SAN ROCCO VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO DOC SUPERIORE 2018 92 PTS
Tightly packed plum and berry on the nose, with some laurel leaves and a hint of black pepper. Medium-to full-bodied with lots of tension to the fruit and quite a tight tannin frame. It’s all there, but this is like a closed fist. Needs time to open up and expand. Best from 2023. (June 21st)
We are waiting for you!
