Zenato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2008
Veneto, Italy$50.95
Great wine, but in my opinion is not ready to drink, looks very young and has a very intense fruit, the wine has almost a sweet taste, I remember in the old vintages this wine had less density, more complexity, and tannins much more evolved.
May be it would be better to keep it in the cellar for a while before drinking it ..
I will prefer a Brigaldara instead.

Castellare Di Castellina 2010, Chianti Classico
Tuscany, Italy$19.05
For a chianti classico 2010 I would say that the results are excellent, clean, well-balanced,
sensations of red berry fruit, reminds me of the wild strawberries, not astringent tannins, but with a dry finish, a young wine but elegant enough ...
