Le Salette - Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'La Marega' 2018

IN STOCK

For generations the Scamperle family has dedicated itself to growing grapes, and, over the years, to gradually increasing the number of vineyards. Today, the family owns 49 cultivated acres, situated throughout the most renowned places of the Valpolicella Classico DOC area

The elegance of the fruit comes through, as does the chewy intensity of the drying process: leather, resin, prune, raisin and a little tobacco and licorice. Sleek and silky, offering black cherry coulis and dried cranberry fruit notes, with silky tannins and accents of star anise, dried rosemary and sage that linger on the juicy, long finish. The mouth feel is richly textured and bold.

"The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico La Marega opens with an intense burst of medicinal cherries and blackberries, complemented by shavings of dark chocolate. This is silky in texture, with juicy acidity and depths of ripe red and blue fruits accentuated by sweet spice. The 2018 finishes staining and long with a crunchy sensation and grippy tannins, yet it remains remarkably fresh. It's a pretty intense wine, but balance is expertly maintained." - 89 Points, Vinous
