vanilla-scented oak

Not overdone in any dimension

spice and hints of dried flowers

but it also produces a really terrific Barbaresco from Neive

Tar and ganache notes give the finish an extra kick while everything stays within the mouthwatering roasted apple wood frame

2016 Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG, Veneto, Italy (750ml) Scotch Whiskey Barrel Aged vanilla-scented oakTASTING NOTES: A deep garnet red in color, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried fruit. On the palate, it is full bodied, warm, mouth filling and dry. A substantial wine of rare elegance that lends itself well to ageing. Excellent with richly flavored main courses based on red meat, such as braised meats and game, and perfect with mature cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own at the end of a fine dinner.
