Brunelli 's Amarone della Valpolicella Campo del Titari 1997 is a magnificent example of the expressiveness and elegance of a mature Amarone. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of dried cherries, dark berries, figs, and dates, accompanied by nuances of dark chocolate, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, the powerful structure reveals itself with dense fruit, ripe acidity, and velvety tannins that harmonize perfectly with the spicy and slightly balsamic notes. The long, profound finish is characterized by notes of espresso, sweet spices, and a hint of licorice. The 1997 edition benefits from its excellent aging and impressively demonstrates how Amarone can gain complexity and depth over decades. A wine for special occasions, it is perfect with aged cheeses or braised dishes.
