Cellar Selection

2003 Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Veneto, Italy
The only fruitcake worth actually eating is Pannetone, and the only wine to have with it is Amarone. The best place to have them together is by a crackling fire with a bowl of nuts nearby. Don’t mistake great Amarone for the thick syrupy dreck that some claim it to be. Great Amarone is gentle and kind, bright and has aromas of walnuts, blueberry, cherry, good fruitcake, and yes, raisins. Its warmth and brightness is just the thing when it gets cold and dark outside…
$48.99/ Bottle
(perfect red for Florentine dishes)
