Ca La Bionda Amarone Classico, "Vigneti di Ravazzol" DOCG 2017	94+ Vinous The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Ravazzol entices with a delicate mix of dried strawberries, rose petals, worn leather and crushed rocks. This smooths over the palate with silky textural fruits and exotic spices. Pretty inner florals form toward the close. There’s a bit of a candied quality to the finish, perfectly balanced by residual acids and youthfully grippy tannins, as the 2017 tapers off, leaving a staining of primary concentration that lingers. Ca’ La Bionda did a fantastic job of dealing with the conditions of this dry, warm vintage.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Ca La Bionda Amarone Classico, "Vigneti di Ravazzol" DOCG 2018	95 Vinous The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Ravazzol is intense, bursting from the glass with bright cherry and rose tones complemented by a dusting of sweet spice and violet pastille. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness, contrasted by juicy acidity as crisp red and blue fruits slowly saturate. Chalky mineral tones add grip toward the close. The Ravazzol tapers off with tension, nearly salty and quite crunchy, leaving a licorice tinge to linger.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
