Hints of shaved cedar and fresh mint lift a mix of plum and cherry sauces as the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Tenuta Lena di Mezzo opens in the glass. This envelopes the palate with silky textures energized by vibrant acidity as sweet herbs and spice tones swirl throughout. It finishes balsamic and structured with notes of dark chocolate and a bitter twang of sour citrus that punctuates the wine nicely.
