// Corvina Veronese 60%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 5%, Croatina Veronese 5%
"The grapes are dried naturally for two-three months and then manual selected before being destemmed and softly crushed. It ages in french oak tonneaux of 500L for, at least 36 months, followed by one year of aging in vitrified concrete tanks and one year in bottle before the release. Characterful wine with notes of black cherries, plums and blackberry jam; dark chocolate, leather, toasted coffee, complex spicyness of black pepper, cinnamon, juniper berries and cloves. A refreshing balsamic end. Complex and rounded, with a powerful structure and a lovely freshness on the finish. A wine with plenty of character with great ageing potential. It makes an excellent partner for game dishes, grilled or braised meat, powerfully flavoured and mature cheeses." - Pieropan, Winemaker
"The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Vigna Garzon smolders with an array of rum-soaked cherries, ginger cookie, mint leaf and shavings of dark chocolate. It is lifted in style with a pretty inner sweetness and tart wild berry fruits elevated by crunchy mineral tones and a core of zesty acidity. The finish is medium in length yet impactful, leaving a subtle sour cherry concentration and pleasant chewiness. An excellent effort for the vintage." - 93 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
