Amarone DOCG Gabbia d'Oro 2023 98pts Luca Maroni

Tasting Notes:

This Amarone typically shows a deep garnet color with an inviting, dense core.

The nose is likely to offer layers of dried cherry, plum, fig, and black cherry, alongside hints of cocoa, sweet spice, and subtle toasted oak from its time in large, old casks.

Expect a full-bodied wine with concentrated dark fruit, a velvety texture, and a warm, lingering finish. The drying of the grapes brings intensity and richness, while the high-altitude fruit preserves enough acidity to keep the wine balanced and refined. This style has the structure to age beautifully for several years, developing even more complexity over time.
