Musella, Amarone Riserva Vintage:2018 followed by savoury layers ofThe 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is impossible to ignore. Bright cherry berry fruits burst from the glass, complemented by autumnal spices and a hint of blood orange. Energetic to the core, it features tart raspberry and citrus tones propelled by vibrant acidity, while a tactile mineral tinge adds crunch toward the close. A web of fine tannins frames the finish as the 2018 tapers off long and staining, leaving rosy inner florals to linger.
