Brigaldara's Amarone Riserva is a wine born from the desire to interpret Valpolicella in its most original form. The strictly selected grapes that form its basis are chosen from the best vineyards in order to maximise the potential of the estate's own vineyards in Valpolicella.

Garnet red in colour, with aromas of preserved fruit, spices, sour cherries and hints of tobacco and cocoa. Brigaldara's Riserva is a large, concentrated "old-school" Amarone with a good dose of residual sugar and volatile acidity, which give the wine its unmistakable style and lend it plenty of complexity. This uncompromising and rich Amarone hits all the right notes: Mocha, old leather, smoke, tobacco and liquorice are just some of the exciting components of its long, personality-rich and distinctive finish. An energetic wine with a balance between fruit and power, which plays with its class and depth and has secured a place in the appellation's list of best wines thanks to its complex and deep tertiary flavours. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium garnet red colour with ruby reflections and a brightening rim. Intense fruity aroma on the nose, preserved cherries and plums, raspberries, underlaid with cinnamon and liquorice. Sweet and fruity on the palate, soft and juicy, beautifully balanced, with well-integrated, grippy tannins, great length and tension right through to the final." Falstaff

"A hint of mandarin and cherry amaro liqueur, pithy and bright. Lilac, crushed musk and creosote. This wine is even more primary and unresolved, without the tertiary complexity or depth of the younger wines. It is balanced, firm, crisp and long. The tannic detail is rewarding. A wine that needs a little more ageing." James Suckling

"The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva San Floriano is a force to be reckoned with. It smoulders with a dark, satisfying bouquet of ground cloves and cinnamon sticks that accentuate dried black cherries. A hint of tobacco and a touch of cocoa powder add further complexity. It is rich and enveloping, with a velvety texture supported by a core of vibrant acidity. Waves of ripe red and black fruits drench the palate in primary concentration. The 2015 finishes savoury and long, still tightly wound and begging for cellaring, while a bitter hint of mocha resonates under a hint of rosy inner flowers. There's just so much going on here already, but for patient collectors, there's more to discover." Vinous
