The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Lena di Mezzo is a rich and darkly extracted wine loaded tight with dark fruit, cola, tar and resin-like aromas. It stays true to the aromatic characteristics that are generally attributed to appassimento, or wines made from air-dried fruit. Soft tannins and sweet fruit flavors wrap around the palate. This vintage is best consumed three to five years from now.
