TOMMASI AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO 2021

Opened this bottle last night and was blown away by how smooth it is for such a young Amarone. The dried cherry and spice notes really come through, with a surprisingly elegant finish.

This one’s a bit more tannic than I expected for an Amarone, but after letting it breathe for an hour it really softened up and paired beautifully with a steak.

Opened this for a special dinner and it delivered — that rich, velvety body with hints of dried fruit really came through. For a 2021 vintage, it’s drinking beautifully now but I can see it aging well too. Would absolutely buy another bottle.
