title: Monteci 2006 Costa delle Corone  (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
description: This is a big wine both in terms of consistency and alcohol (17%). In fact, it's too big in many respects and it's hard to image what foods can stand up to this power. The wine is redolent of brambly sour notes of earth and forest floor and there's a touch of bitter astringency on the close.
variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara
designation: Costa delle Corone
