Made by the Cantina di Soave cooperative for Morrisons, this is a powerful Amarone with a ripe red berry perfume along with a touch of wild game showing some development. The grapes are dried for three months before the resulting wine is aged in large oak barrels for 24 months. Concentrated red and dark berries are joined on the palate by sweet spices and velvety tannins. Dried herbs and prunes linger on a long finish. It's sweet but balanced, with 10g/L of residual sugar and 5.6g/L of acidity.
