Pieropan - Amarone della Valpolicella Vigna Garzon 2018
95/100
James Suckling
"A nectar with finely crafted tannins, whose terroir has become one of the most excellent sources of fresh reds over the years, according to Suckling!"
"Four years of aging in 90% tonneaux and 10% barrels, with an additional year in the bottle before release. The oak is intelligent, serving to compress the sweet cherries while adding a touch of flavor. The finely crafted tannins are still marked by the wood, but refined. This wine will find its place with patience. It comes from the eastern part of Ilasi, a predominantly limestone terroir that is increasingly becoming an excellent source of fresh reds. Drink now, but best from 2028." (James Suckling 2024)

About wine:
Aged for four years in 90% tonneaux and 10% barrels, with an additional year in the bottle before release. The oak is cleverly used to compress the sweet cherries while adding a touch of flavor. The finely crafted tannins are still marked by the wood, but refined. This wine will find its place with patience. It comes from the eastern Ilasi area, a predominantly limestone terroir that is increasingly becoming an excellent source of fresh reds. Drink now, but best from 2028.
