Valpolicella In about 50 seconds!
I really like Valpolicella as a versatile red wine from Italy with a fuller less acidic wine than Chianti these wines do very well with rich tomato based food and also can stand up to steaks and other wines that you want a rich food bodied wine to go along with. Tart cherries dominate in the nose and palette, they are all full bodied wines but the Amarone can be described very easily as giant. The appasimento process that Amarone uses to dry the grapes before vinification results in a wine with a coating mouth-feel and high alcohol.
The style is still evolving and examples from the 60s 70s will be different then bottles from the 80s and 90s and those will be different from modern bottles. This is an interesting wine that is worth checking out.
