The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Campo dei Gigli is intense like cracking open an ashen stone to find a bevy of dried black cherries cinnamon sticks incense and dried herbs. This is deeply textural with a balanced inner sweetness elevated by vibrant acidity as depths of tart red fruit balance and slowly saturates the palate in primary concentration. The 2017 finishes structured and dramatically long begging for further cellaring as a bitter tinge of currants and clove fade. Maybe splitting hairs but I didn't believe that Tenuta Sant'Antonio could outdo their 2016 Campo dei Gigli but over time the 2017 may be up to the task. (Drink between 2024-2035)
