MONTE DEL FRA AMARONE SCARNOCCHIO DOCG 2012 750ML

This is a single vineyard Amarone. 90% ages at least 36 months in 30 hl French oak while the remaining 10% ages in small French oak. After bottling, it ages for a further 12 months. Deep garnet with hints of ruby red. Blue floral notes and light herbaceousness followed by a touch of spices, reminisces of dried peach, apricot and other stone fruit leave room for exciting black cherry, dark plum, blackberry and hints of refreshing and indulging mint. The flavors remain true to the nose, a real explosion of black and red fruit, the secondary and tertiary aromas are much more expressed into black tea leaves, licorice, vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of coffee and tobacco. Retaining good acidity and balance until the long deserved finish.
