From Pieropan’s Vigna Garzon, the 2019 shows what happens when richness meets restraint. The fruit is deep and concentrated - dried cherry, black plum, a hint of fig - but it never tips into excess. Everything feels measured, shaped by patience and a clear sense of balance. On the palate, it is full and velvety, with layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and warm spice unfolding gradually rather than all at once. There is a savory thread running through it - a touch of bitterness, a whisper of earth - that keeps the wine grounded and composed. Powerful, yes, but never heavy-handed. This is a wine for unhurried evenings. For dishes with depth, for conversations that linger, for moments when one glass is meant to last. Thoughtful, structured, and quietly commanding, it shows a more considered side of Amarone - confident, poised, and very much at ease with itself.
