2008
Amarone & Valpolicella wines from 2008
A good if difficult year, with a perhaps over-wet spring leading to a good but moderate summer. The harvest was complicated by rain and hail, but most producers managed to make very good wine from this year, the somewhat cooler weather even resulting (from the most skilful winemakers) in wines with particularly fine acidity, resulting in elegant, balanced wine.
Nothing matches. Answer three questions and we pick six that are on the shelf today.
