The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico holds on very nicely, even after the bottle is opened for a day, as I learned. This is a darkly concentrated and enriched expression of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella (with anywhere from 90 to 120 days of dehydration) that completes up to 36 months of aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This is a full-bodied effort with a thick load of black fruit, spice, tarry smoke and moist chewing tobacco. The heat of the 2012 growing season adds to the intensity here. Production is an ample 76,000 bottles.
