We began with the 2019 Possessioni Bianco and the 2018 Possessioni Rosso. These wines are very clean, dry, and balanced and have developed some attractive complexity. Next, we tasted the remarkable 2017 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Monte Piazzo. This is also from a single vineyard. This showed balance and complexity with bright red fruits, flowers, richness, and great structure.
With the single vineyard 2013 Amarone Viao Armaron, tasters discovered why I think this is one of the greatest red wines in the world. The concentration and rich complexity came through with a bonus of layered and unique textured flavors in the finish. We finished with the 2015 Casal dei Ronchi Recioto. This showed great aromatics in a sweet wine that is fruity, smooth, and very complex.
