Pieropan Amarone della Valpolicella 2015
Red
Soave, Italy
7.0
WineSaint
Cherry liqueur, dark chocolate and violet pastille create an alluring entry, yet the wine stumbles mid-palate where fruit concentration thins noticeably. Fine-grained tannins and herbal complexity provide structure, but can't mask the hollow core that undermines what should be Amarone's signature richness. Extended breathing helps modestly.
