Critics reviews
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.
Drink 2024 - 2031
Aromas of baked strawberry and cinnamon with hints of bruised plum and orange follow through to a supple, medium-to-full-bodied palate with a nice bittersweet edge to the savoury, spiced berries in the finish. Juicy and silky tannins for an Amarone.

A refreshingly savoury expression of Amarone with great balance and freshness. Aged in large French oak casks for 24 months, it combines sticky plum with plenty of white pepper, herbs and chocolate, leading to a finish of tobacco, earth and black pepper.
