Speri, Vigneto Monte Sant’Urbano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2016

RRP £70.01

A light and refined style of Amarone from the warm slopes of Sant’Urbano. A perfumed and vivid wine with aromatic hints of the garrigue. It glides on silky tannins and graphite smoothness balanced with bitter chocolate freshness and light snap. There is cocoa powder on pure, persistent finish. Cool, refined and harmonious and somewhat higher in alcohol.
