"The 2004 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is flat-out gorgeous. The 2004 is a superb, elegant Amarone graced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers, tobacco and spices, all supported by finessed, silky tannins. Sweet roses, tar and licorice are woven into the layered, sublime finish. Deceptively medium in body, the 2004 has the stuffing to age well for decades. This is a terrific showing from Bertani."

"The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella is another in a string of stellar wines from Marion. The 2006 comes across as almost painfully young in its intense structure. With time in the glass, the wine’s inner sweetness, richness and perfume emerge loud and clear."
