Le Guaite di Noemi, Amarone della Valpolicella 2010

RRP N/A in UK

Noemi Pizzighella took over this tiny estate in 2016 from her parents. Intriguing aroma, rich and intense with sweet garden compost, heather and ripe black cherries. A complex, layered and succulent palate of dried figs and honey, layered with delicate liquorice bitterness and freshness. Black satin texture – this is very alluring. The richness of the alcohol comes through, but with a long and fresh glide on the finish.
