Amarone Case Vecie takes its name from the vineyard of the same name in the municipality of Grezzana in Valpantena. It is an exceptional parcel where, thanks to the altitude and exposure, the grapes ripen slowly and consistently even in the most difficult years. The late harvest allows the grapes to be stored in a cooler season and to undergo a slow and long drying process that develops the characteristic aromas. A wine that brings out the natural characteristics of the high mountain climate: a true Amarone delle "Vigne Alte".

Intense ruby red. Case Vecie takes its time to open up in the glass. It seduces with a rather unobtrusive but also meditative expression and draws the eye to a pretty bouquet of blackberries, lavender and violets. The palate reveals pure elegance, resting on a core of lively acids and at the same time an impressive density with radiant black fruits that gain in volume and depth towards the end. Cherries, sweet spices, mocha and dark floral notes run through the dramatically long final. The balance is already amazing, the still youthful structure of the 2015 is hardly noticeable until the end. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby garnet. Very clear, inviting nose, shows notes of pickled cherry, plum, plus dark chocolate. Plays up nicely on the palate, present, fresh fruit with sweet melting, has very good tension, long and salty on the final." Falstaff

"The Brigaldara 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Case Vecie shows a raw and edgy approach to Amarone with ripe fruit flavors on the one hand and brambly or tart notes on the other. This wine delivers hot-vintage ripeness next to angular tones of balsam herb and wet earth." Robert Parker

"Currants and dates on the nose, as well as a balsamic, herbal note. Medium-to full-bodied with intense fruit and still lightly firm, fruit and spice-coated tannins. Long, focused finish. Best in 2023 and onwards." James Suckling

"The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Case Vecie is seductive and intense, leading off with a dazzling display of medicinal cherry, sweet balsamic spices, mentholated herbs and a dusting of cocoa. Its textures are velvety-smooth and dense, ushering in ripe red and black fruits contrasted by a complex mix of minerals and fine tannins that saturate the senses. This dark and beastly Amarone tapers off slowly with youthful structure, as notes of bitter coffee and baker’s chocolate melt away. There’s so much potential here, but the 2015 still needs a few years to come into focus, and it should then continue to evolve slowly for another decade or two." Vinous
