"Even more stunning than the BG, the larger, more concentrated and voluminous 1998 Amarone TB possesses an intense bouquet offering a smorgasbord of aromas, including plums, figs, smoke, saddle leather, chocolate, and sweet cherry and berry fruit. Dense, with great concentration, sweet tannin, a multi-layered, opulent mouthfeel, and a 50+ second finish, it is about as provocative and riveting as an Amarone can be. Seemingly more forward and evolved than the 1997, which seems to have closed down over the last few months . . ."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
A prolific northern region known for Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes, as well as Soave and Prosecco. Its finest reds are rich, warming and concentrated.
