Degani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'La Rosta'

Degani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico ‘La Rosta’
La Rosta is the best single vineyard of the Degani estate. The family only makes this special Amarone in the best years. It is a very rich flavored wine, but still maintains the ‘classic’ styling that allows it to be paired with richer meat dishes.

Review(s) |
91 Pts. Wine Spectator "Full of character, with sun-dried cherry and date fruit, mineral, spice and leather notes leaping from the glass and riding the silky palate, this is lightly juicy and harmonious, with supple tannins on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2026." A.N. Web Only 2016
