The Speri Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Sant'urbano 2020 is a full-bodied, complex, and elegant red wine with a deep ruby red color and garnet reflections. It offers a bouquet of dried fruits, spices, and dark chocolate, with a long and persistent finish.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Deep ruby red with intense garnet reflections.
- Nose: A broad and intense bouquet featuring aromas of macerated red fruits, dried fruit (cherry, fig, prune), stone fruits, cherries in brandy, spices (clove, anise hyssop, five-spice kick), and mentholated herbs. Notes of tobacco, leather, rhubarb, cocoa, and coffee may also be present.
- Palate: Full-bodied, warm, and mouth-filling, it is both powerful yet poised. The texture is described as silky smooth, with crisp red berry fruits cascading across a core of stimulating acidity and notable minerality. Flavors include dried fruits, black cherries, plums, and dark chocolate notes. The finish is incredibly long, dry, and elegant, with a salty flourish and a bitter cocoa tang, framed by grippy tannins.
