The Wine Advocate:

This wine is packaged in a very heavy, ecologically unfriendly bottle with a pretty wax capsule. The Stefano Accordini 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Il Fornetto is a bold and almost exaggerated expression that weaves together hot-vintage fruit and generous oak aging (it sees 48 months in barrique). The Riserva sits heavily on the palate with blackberry confit, cherry liqueur, balsam herb, cola, grilled rosemary, toasted oak and campfire ash. The wine is the proverbial too-much-of-a-good-thing that might only be paired with aged Stilton cheese or game stew. Do not underestimate the power of this ultra bold Amarone, with its thick layers of sweet and savory flavors. This blend of 55% Corvina, 35% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella (that sees 120 days of appassimento) closes with 16.5% alcohol.
