Monte Dall'Ora Amarone della Valpolicella La Stropa 2015

40% Corvina/30% Corvinone/20% Rondinella/10% Oseleta & Molinara. From certified-biodynamic estate vines. It is named for the stropa or "switch" from the native weeping willow, used historically to tie the vines to their pergolas. A restrained example of Amarome. Dry, with a generous attack, a full body and super silky tannins on the mid-palate, with zesty acidity balancing relatively moderate alcohol. Clean, tense finish, with good length.
