Begali – Amarone Monte Ca Bianca 2017 (16.5%)

Mycket bra årgång för Begali. Förra årgången 2016 fick 95p av Wine Advocate (2017 är av samma kaliber): “The Begali family makes some of the best and most technically attuned wines in the Valpolicella Classico area. This is their top wine, and the 2016 vintage is one of their most impressive releases. The Begali Lorenzo 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Monte Ca’ Bianca is dark and penetrating, with lots of inner power, determination and 16.5% alcohol, which is woven within the fruit and textural fiber of this age-worthy red. The profile here is one of great power and personality, so take care to pair this wine with an appropriate food, such as charred steak, game dishes or aged cheese. The blend of air-dried fruit is 40% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta, and 6,500 bottles were made.”
