Cavolo Amarone is a selection of the best grapes from all the estate's vineyards. It opens with aromas of raspberry jam, dried cherries dusted with cinnamon and cocoa, and wafting notes of cedar and tobacco. The flavours of tart plums and fresh blackberries combine with bay leaf, chia spice, liquorice root and white pepper. Elegant on the palate, with fine tannins and a lively acidity that gives the wine a good basis for ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense ruby red with garnet red edges. Imposing nose, lots of rum pot and spices, reminiscent of cloves and star anise, followed by candied plums and fully ripe strawberries. Structured and warm-hearted on the palate, great interplay of fully ripe tannins and animating acidity, spicy final." Falstaff

"An intense and complex wine with aromas of liquorice, smoke, dried flowers, fresh redcurrants, red cherries and a hint of bay leaves. Full-bodied on the palate, with medium to full body, firm, chalky tannins and crisp acidity." James Suckling

"The Amarone della Valpolicella Cavolo 2020 seduces with a bouquet of dried violets, stone dust, red plums and balsamic spices. Feminine and airy in style, it retains an elegant feel while polished red berry fruit swirls throughout. A sweet and sour flavour unfolds on the finish, with edgy tannins balanced by juicy acidity. The Cavolo is already stunning and an excellent example of the savoury style of Amarone." Vinous

"Not your typical heavyweight Amarone. This one keeps it fresh and focused, pure fruits taking the spotlight while earth and herbs add subtle touches. The palate stays surprisingly light on its feet, bringing crunch where you expected plush. Maybe this is Amarone finding its way back to elegance over power. Sometimes less really is more."
