"My personal challenge is to bring Amarone back to the table. It's a wonderful accompaniment to food, combining power and complexity with a crisp, smooth mouthfeel." Graziano Prà

A brilliant ruby red. The aromas are intense and complex, with notes of plum compote, cloves, sage and dark chocolate. On the palate, cherry and plum, along with lovely notes of bitter cocoa and liquorice. The texture is velvety, yet lively and juicy, with vibrant acidity that teases the palate with mineral-tinged red fruits and sweet spices. In final complex final, the wine becomes darker and more intense, revealing blackcurrants, herbal notes and a hint of bitter coffee. Morandina offers the intensity of an Amarone, but in a spicy and balanced style that is highly appealing. SUPERIORE.DE

"A wine with a very green note – in a positive sense – featuring lively aromas of bay leaves, dried cherries, pomegranates and pronounced black pepper. On the palate, it is dense and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a long, pleasantly warming finish." James Suckling

"The dusty and fragrant Amarone della Valpolicella Morandina 2018 enchants the senses with a wealth of aromas of dried roses, orange peel, cocoa powder and black cherries. It is silky smooth, balanced by a tangy citrus note, whilst a subtle wave of mineral-rich wild berries washes over the palate. Slightly tannic and intense, this wine leaves a tangy blackberry note and a firm finish, whilst hints of lavender linger. Patience is required." Vinous

"An Amarone in a fresher, more elegant style, with flavors of plumped black cherry and fig cake animated by plum skin acidity and layered with an overtone of fragrant black tea, plus hints of dark chocolate, roasted vanilla, minerally tar, iron and leather. Structured by fine, taut tannins, this finds an appealing place between being sweet and savory in profile, offering harmonious integration and length." Wine Spectator
