Tommasi 2018 Amarone
94 Points James Suckling

Love the style of this Amarone. It’s big and bold but there’s still good acidity and tannin structure. It’s a racy style of Amarone that’s fun to drink.

“Savory berries and dried blackberries on the nose, together with oranges, dark chocolate and dry earth. Full-bodied and fine-grained palate, with a tight structure and fantastic balance, which indicates good aging potential. Long and savory, yet reserved. A textbook Amarone with freshness, savoriness and concentration.” – James Suckling

Starting with the “nose”, an array of fragrances that range from sensations of red and black fruits to notes of jam, as well as spicy and balsamic nuances. The wine’s structure on the palate is similarly complex: Amarone’s characteristic sweetly fruity soul is nicely underpinned by the tannins, but especially by a tanginess that gives it a supple and juicy liveliness.
