2012 Serego Alighieri Vaio Armaron
The Serego Alighieri noble family are direct descendants of Dante Alighieri and have been making wine on this estate since 1300. This amarone is relatively new in that light, only 50 years ago the Amarone style was created. This single vineyard Amarone is perhaps the name giver of this category, the vineyard is called Armaron. It is an overwhelming Amarone, but one with finesse and elegance. Much ripened fruit is supported by soft tannins and a very long finish.
