 Grapes drying for Amarone at Trabucchi Great Amarone - The First Steal of the New YearThese days we see a number of close-outs and other discounted offers from importers, but few are for wines we actually admire - the last one here that you may recall was the ridiculously low-priced Ducroux Cote Rotie; now we’ve found another: Trabucchi 2002 Amarone Cereolo. Trabucchi is an organic estate, and low yields (about half of what’s permitted) and natural yeast fermentations contribute to the depth and purity of their wines. The wine has plenty of classic Amarone character – rich, full-bodied, redolent of spice and dried fruit. The 2002 vintage may be a bit lighter than some, with the real advantage is that the wine is fresher and brighter than many heavy Amarones that are so tough to pair with food. We are certainly in high Amarone season – the wine will go beautifully with any number of winter dishes. This week we are partnering with our friends at Snooth.com to get the word out; as their resident wine expert Greg Dal Piaz writes: “Simply put, this is great Amarone, and a great deal”.
