$158.00 price per bottle
The 2019 Speri Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano is a red wine from the Valpolicella region in Veneto, Italy. Produced by the historic Speri family, this Amarone is crafted from a meticulous selection of Corvina Veronese and Corvinone (75%), Rondinella (20%), and Molinara (5%). The grapes undergo the traditional appassimento process, drying for around 100 days to concentrate their flavors before fermentation. Tasting Notes Aroma : An intense bouquet of dried violets, black cherries, fresh coffee grounds, cocoa powder, and subtle spices. Palate : Full-bodied yet refined, with silky textures and layers of polished red berry fruit. Balanced acidity and structured tannins create a long, persistent finish with hints of dark chocolate, spice, and earthy minerality. Structure : Well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity provide excellent aging potential. Critical Acclaim Vinous : 96 points – Praised for its balance and aging potential, described as an Amarone to "bury deep" in the cellar for future enjoyment. Decanter : 95 points – Recognized for its elegant structure and rich dark plum and black cherry flavors, with excellent freshness and a long, spice-infused finish. Serving and Pairing This Amarone is best served at 18–20°C (64–68°F) . Decanting for at least an hour before serving enhances its aromatic complexity. It pairs beautifully with braised meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses , complementing its richness and depth. Aging Potential The 2019 vintage exhibits exceptional structure and balance, making it suitable for long-term aging . While it is already impressive in its youth, cellaring for at least 10–20 years will allow its complexity to evolve further.
