Michele Castellani Cinque Stelle Amarone Valpolicella Classico 2012, Veneto D.O.C., Italy: Black fruit, tar, and mocha dipped graphite. This wine is huge. Full-bodied and delicious Italian red wine from the Veneto region. Lovers of Amarone will love this bottling as it offers a full-palate-flavour of fleshy black cherries and blackberries. There's also some dried herbs and dark spices on the finish. Powerfully crafted for pleasure. Match it with a New York steak. Drink: 2016-2025. 75127 15.50% XD 750 mL $56.95 Score: 94/100.
