Review

95 Points Wine Spectator: Special Designation: Highly Recommended Issue: Jun 30, 2007 Castellani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Cinque Stelle 2003 Tight on the nose, offering just a hint of the clean black fruit and coffee-stained oak character that forms a solid bead on the palate. Full-bodied, with lots of tightly packed tannins that carry the crushed fruit flavors through the long, long finish. Very intense--almost closed--but super-clean and fine. A beauty. Best after 2008. 1,200 cases made. –JC Country: Italy Region: Veneto
