Wine from Veneto

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: The power but also vibrancy of the fruit on the nose is very impressive. Dark plums, incense, tar, dried meat and elderberry compote are out in full force. The soft fruit would be enough in itself, but its enveloped in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is my favorite wine in the retrospective, along with the amazing 2011, 2009 and 1996 vintages. This wine was released at the beginning of this year, and because Dal...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This is a terrific wine that stood out—and stood tall—despite the fact that it was tasted alongside some of Dal Forno's most important vintages of the top-shelf Amarone. If that's not a full-on recommendation, I don't...

Decanter, 95 points: This 2013 Amarone, from 55- to 60-year-old vines in the Capitel Monte Olmi vineyard, shows Tedeschi back on form. The 5% Oseleta in the blend gives more structure to the wines. 'I like this vertical style of Amarone...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This wine was first produced in 1983, and production remains unbroken because no vintage was ever skipped. The 2008 Cabernet Alzero is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with 20% Merlot. These are the first grapes...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: This wine is made with fruit from outside the Classico zone, from hillside vines planted in well-drained marl soils, with 180-degree exposures from southwest to southeast. The wine's name Marne 180 plays up both of those...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This leads with an explosion of dark cherries and vanilla. Then come spices and earth. Dense and complex, but showing polish and form. Full-bodied, very structured and long on the finish. Drink from 2023.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: This wine is dedicated to Roberto Ferrarini, the longtime consulting enologist who worked with Giuseppe Quintarelli and the Quintarelli family until his death in 2014. The beautiful 2007 Recioto della Valpolicella...
