"Though better known for their exceptional Soave, brothers Claudio and Sandro Gini also produce red wines from their Tenuta Scajari at Cazzano di Tramigna. Their Amarone Monte Serea is a youthful ruby colour with smoky grey/violet shadings. Very scented, it displays aromas of dried and candied fig, cranberry, cherry and orange peel. Full and ripe with sure-footed, lush flavours of fresh and dried fruit, its lovely acidity helps maintain impressive freshness, while a gentle, nuanced finish enhances this really stylish wine. Delightful."

"The cedar riffs of French oak segue to bitter cherry, raspberry bon bon, alpine herb and Pastis, marking the finish. This is a slick, contemporary Amarone on one hand, without pushing any buttons of winemaking intrusiveness, on the other. Another red here that reminds me of a ripe, chunkier Pinot. Beautifully transparent, deft of touch with chiffon-like of structure. I like the style. The oak, used to beautiful effect. 'Medium drying' of the fruit (2 mths), in a highly ventilated mountainous setting, is the key. This mitigates any malevolent botrytic development. The end result is floral, lifted, juicy, sappy and while concentrated, so very fresh. Drink or hold."
