The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is a creation of enormous beauty and unflinching intensity. The wine speaks at loud volumes with black cherry, spice, tarry smoke, barbecue marinade and grilled rosemary. Those balsam notes add length and continuity to the bouquet. In the mouth, the wine is complete and penetrating. It wraps thickly over the palate to soothe and entice your taste buds. Yet there is enough crispness to keep it from feeling cloying or too heavy. There is a point of tannic astringency on the finish that will accompany this wine over the next decade of its aging evolution. For that reason, it's best to wait before popping the cork on this memorable vinous experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- Vineyard Bullet 1 --\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Unique Monte Lodoletta Terroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Located in Illasi, eastern Valpolicella, the Monte Lodoletta vineyard features rich alluvial gravelly-clay soils.
