We corks up two pieces Amarone from 2004 to compare styles and quality. Le Ragoses 16 hectares plantations are the highest in the Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella their comprises 60% corvina, 20% Rondinella and 20% other grapes, after a long maceration (20-30 days) and the initial years of stainless steel , has been kept to the 4-5 years of Slovenian Botti.
Tenuta Sant'Antonio selezione Antonio Castagnedi made up to 70% corvina, 20% Rondinella, 5% and 5% Croatina oseleta has been fermenting for 25 days and remained two years in new French tonneaux.
Amarone della Valpolicella selezione Antonio Castagnedi 2004 has a look that is dark, dense and dull deep red with faluröd periphery. The scent is similarly dark, dense and dull with sweet licorice, asphalt, tobacco, high-octane chocolate and heavy streaks of dried fruit. A large, almost overwhelming scent, which developed in the right direction with some time in the glass - healthier elements of menthol and a bit brighter örtighet eases up event after a while. Large plant and extra roomy to fragrance package of style typical markers, but in the end fades the sweet Sun Maidtonerna bit over the top for my taste.
A real muscle Packages with much force and clear alcohol heat that gives a fiery arc of the mouth and with an apparent affinity of fortified wine. The fruit feels sötmogen but never directly sleazy, the acidity of extremely discreet, non-existent tannins and the finish is slowly fading to dark chocolate and cigar Orok the base. A powervin that has a lot of problems with balance in both the nose and mouth.

Amarone della Valpolicella 2004 (Le Ragose) is deep ruby \u200b\u200bred with lighter brick shades. We immediately put a much brighter palette with concentrated cherry fruit, very intense, with wide open paint buckets and brushes in white spirit. Violent Italian in its image with the tones that can be found in most quality districts, though this is a clear extraction giveaway. little dry side notes of gypsum, lime and dust clean away any excess fruit sweetness. A meaty and intense nose that still appear smoother and with more than gracilitet Sant'Antonion.
flavor has a completely different tone in this wine, with slender fruit acidity and some tannins slender. Powerful? Yes, but it dances on your tongue, and tilt the balance even without arcing. Aftertaste heals slowly and leaves a neat dryness after him with currants and candied citrus. This is an Amarone that plays in another league - GRAND smaller but with all its elements in balance, and plenty of charm.
Le Ragoses amarone held Carlo Merolli and also costs 249 SEK.
