Here's a new discovery from Sartori. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Corte Brà is saturated and rich, almost sticky or viscous in places, flaunting a very generous full-bodied style. This Riserva blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta is held back a few extra years before the wine's commercial release. There are budding notes of smoke, dried fruit, spice and rum cake. The wine is intact and very intense (with 15.5% alcohol) thanks to air-dried fruit, but the finished results show enough inner grace and silkiness to pair with roasted or grilled meats.
