According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The entry-level 2005 Amarone Classico della Valpolicella Costasera is made in a fairly straightforward, fresh style, with perfumed bright red fruit supported by silky tannins. This harmonious red offers excellent depth and lovely balance. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015." (10/08) 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 5% Molinara. Bright ruby red with violet tinges on the edges. Young and vibrant on the nose with typical cherry aromas to the fore and a distinct hint of cloves. Good structure on the palate; ripe cherry is still the dominant flavor with cooked plums and touches of sweet cinnamon spice. Versatile enough to go with many dishes. Perfect with soups, pasta and risottos. Very good with both simple and more substantial dishes based on red meat, or with fresh cheeses.
