Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella ‘Cavolo’ 2019
An epic Amarone that overdelivers. Dusty roses, black cherries, espresso and mint on a silky frame. 96 points by Vinous and drinkable young—yet built to evolve beautifully through 2040. This might be the best €36 you ever spend on wine.

Description
Brigaldara’s Cavolo vineyard is famed for its early-drinking style of Amarone—a wine that pairs richness and power with immediate charm. The 2019 vintage hits astonishing heights with a Vinous 96-point score, thanks to its deep structure, wild fruit, and beautifully dry finish. It’s hard to overstate the value: few Amarones rated this high come anywhere near €36. An accessible yet age-worthy bottle from one of Valpolicella’s top names.

| Review: | The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Cavolo impresses with its remarkably pretty bouquet of dusty roses, shavings of cedar and cocoa-dusted black cherries. This is soothingly round yet energetic, with fresh acidity and bright wild berry fruits that swirl as hints of espresso bean and dark chocolate add a bitter bite. Long and staining, the 2019 lingers on as a web of fine tannins forms a classically dry sensation, offset by a tinge of sour orange. Always more approachable in its youth, the Cavolo is an overachiever today but amply balanced for the cellar. |
