La Giaretta, Veneto
Powerful nose of liquidised raisins, ripe black cherries and Kirsch, with no reductive qualites on the palate which, like the colour, retains a wonderful fruit-driven freshness. The terrific, port-like richness, sweetness (and alcohol content – 15.5%) from such a stirling vintage for the Veneto, will ensure a long life for this Amerone. Some secondary ‘ripasso’ characteristics are starting to show through but this is a wine showing wisdom not wrinkles.
The La Giaretta estate
Introduced to us at Vinitaly 2006, the wines from La Giaretta have rapidly established themselves as among the most popular of our portfolio. When tasting, the progression from the basic Valpolicella all the way through to the astonishing single vineyard Amarone Riserva offers a clearly linear relationship, the wines increasing in intensity, power and richness BUT maintaining a freshness of fruit expression throughout. The release of the Amarone 'I Quadretti' 2001 last September was greeted with a flurry of excitement by eager clients and critics acknowledging this as one of the greatest Amarone wines produced in decades.
