The 2018 Mazzi Punta di Villa, Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto was a Merchant's Pick
Amarone Alert • Steak Not Included!
Are you looking for that special bottle of wine to sit and sip by the fireplace all winter?
Each sip of today's feature is like a warm, cozy pair of slippers on a cold winter day. You will not find a better Amarone for the money!
This Quintarelli neighbor can be enjoyed over the next 10 years and 10 snowstorms.
Culinarily it's a hit:
Serving aged cheese? Amarone!
Braised short ribs? Amarone!
Stews? Amarone!
A spicy tomato sauce? Amarone!
Bitter dark chocolate? Amarone!
Aromas of dark berry jam, dried flowers, tobacco, dark chocolate, and aged leather fill the room. Plums and black cherries are surrounded by sweet spices. Full and supple in the mouth, the wine lasts on the palate and finishes with layers of cherry cola, preserved fruit, and earth.
A mere 300 meters is all that separates the Mazzi property from the renowned Quintarelli Winery.
We've compared this delicious Amarone to those in the $75+ category; none impress us the way Mazzi does!
Only 50 cases of this perennial favorite were imported.
Extremely limited.
Enjoy!
