About this Item

2001 Punta di Villa Amarone
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

"Mazzi's vineyards are located at significant altitudes in the Valpolicella and this factor, along with the limestone-rich soils, tends to give wines of fragrance and finesse rather than sheer muscle power." - Wine Advocate

The grapes dry until February and lose over 50% of their weight, fermentation on the skins for 14 days in steel vats with temperature control, ageing in French oak barriques for 24 months.Cellaring in the bottle for 6 months

Private Client

Critics Ratings

'Deep ruby. Intense aromas of dark plum, cherry macerated in alcohol, violet, mushroom and mocha. Velvety rich and smooth, with lavish, ripe dark fruit. A full-bodied, high alcohol wine with a heady, tannic, long finish.' - Ian D'Agata, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2006)
