title: Bottega 2009 Collina del Sole  (Amarone della Valpolicella)
description: This brawny wine has intense aromas of plum, tobacco and spirit-soaked black cherries, with a hint of oak and leather. The palate delivers ripe blackberry, tobacco leaf and licorice flavors, with a warm midpalate. It shows nice fruit but evident alcohol dominates the palate, cutting the flavors short.
variety: Red Blend
