The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Punta di Villa represents a blend of 70% Corvina, 10% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella (aged in barrique for two years). Plump layers of dried fruit, prune, blackberry, fresh roasted coffee beans, and chocolate mocha segue to more ethereal tones of cola, black licorice and crushed peppercorn. Toasted spice and tobacco are nicely proportioned to the overall heft and power of this opulent red wine.
