Packaged in a special bottle with a retro-looking label and a handsome red wax capsule, the Brigaldara 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva San Floriano (with 5,000 bottles made) is a late-release wine that hits the market 10 years after the harvest. The aromas are evolved and tarry with spice, black fruit and dried apricot. Rosemary, clove and juniper berry also appear in the blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. This was a hot and dry vintage that saw early harvest dates and good conditions for the appassimento process. With pronounced tertiary definition and a hearty 16% alcohol content, you can pair this wine with wintery meat dishes or stews.
