The name says it all: Marne means marl soil, on which the vines for this marvellous Amarone grow. They are over 20 years old and lie in an ideal 180° direction, from south-west to south-east. Rich, shiny ruby red colour, compact bouquet with intense aromas of plum, black cherry, green tea and tobacco, with a fine chocolate note in the background. The body, coated in fine berry fruit, develops a dynamic flavour experience on the palate with a sweet fruit melt, firm tannins and a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, medium ruby red colour with a fine rim. With a little air, notes of juicy cherries and raspberry, plus red pepper, also slightly balsamic in the aftertaste, on bitter chocolate. Even more present on the palate with plenty of savoury fruit and very well integrated tannins through to the lingering, spicy finish." Falstaff

"This Amarone is transparent and restrained, with a delicate nose of fresh red fruits, bright flavours and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, it displays firm, chalky tannins with crisp, savoury acidity and a taut finish." James Suckling

"Notes of smoked meat mingle with oregano, thyme, plums and dried cherries. Full-bodied on the palate with a long, complex finish." Decanter

"The 2021 Amarone della Valpolicella Marne 180 comes from 25 hectares of vineyards on clayey marl soils at an altitude of 250 to 480 metres above sea level. You notice the deep inner power of the wine, which starts with a strong alcohol content of 16%, but I can't help but notice the delicate quality of the bouquet, which is embroidered with blackcurrant, lightly toasted spices and pressed red roses. These are joined by red peppercorns and a hint of toasted cumin in a big but not overpowering mouthfeel." Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Amarone della Valpolicella Marne 180 opens with a spicy blend of cloves, nutmeg, dried black cherries and rose petals. It is elegant in style, with silky textures and bright red berry fruits that ride on a current of cooling acidity. Powerful tannins balanced by a hint of residual acidity allow the 2021 to finish long and colourful as it draws the taster back to the glass again and again. A truly gastronomic and harmonious Amarone." Vinous
