Shop/Wine Critic Review: “A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Corvina grapes that are naturally dried for about 15 days, then aged in oak barrels for 4 months. Intense purple color, tending towards garnet with ageing. Flavor of crushed black raspberry, black cherry, plum compote. This wine has a very solid structure and the balance between the soft tannins and acidity. Spicy red with a creamy palate and a long, refined finish” (The Vintage Cellar).
Your Review: Amami Rosso Veneto has both a beautiful bottle and an interesting taste. When first tasting it, there were strong hints of cherry, blackberry, and an overpowering (but good) oaky finish. The shop review lists it as having a creamy palate which I didn’t get in my tasting, however, it was definitely spicy and very dry. I didn’t drink this alongside any food, but I do think the food would have helped with the dryness of the wine. Overall, I would buy this again.
