Hello all,

I am looking to purchase some vintage bertani amarone if anyone has
some or knows a good location to purchase please contact.

Also looking for info on good years for bertani amarone.
pls email (remove sp@m)

I actually drank a '96 just last night. I had this particular wine before
at a restaurant and was looking forward to my local wine shop to have it's
Italian sale. They finally got around to it this month and I bought 2
bottles at $48 each. The one that I drank last night was somewhat different
than I remembered... Originally in the restaurant the wine gave a brief
hint of something when it first hit the tongue that was like a tease because
I couldn't taste it long enough to decide what I thought it was. The bottle
last night didn't seem to have that same component, but I really enjoyed it
nonetheless.

Patience!

The 74 drinks well now and the 1971 is wonderful. These wines often need time.

Are you going to plan a journey in Italy, Or you have to purchase it in
your own town?

Here in my little town there is a store inside Bertani's cellar, with
current and vintage bottles.

I will give you more details if you are going to spend some days in Italy.

About good years for amarone, often the best are sold out, so the best
years are those you can buy

Thanks for all of your comments so far. I live in Chicago IL. and i am
having trouble finding a vender. I would love to go to Italy and buy
some personally. But that's a few years off

If anyone knows a good internet shop, with a somewhat larger selection
then 1 bottle, or a local shop in Chicago that would be helpful.
If anyone is willing to part with some, arrangements could be made.

Go to Sam's, close to Sheffield and North. They're selling the '96
Bertani Amarone and BTW are one of the best wine stores in the US.

Amarone is a wine that neither needs nor benefits from long ageing.

Moron!

Bill, with all due respect I was going to reply to your reply to my post
stating that I really didn't feel that the '96 Bertani Amarone had anything
more to gain through age. I could be wrong of course and feel free to
explain it to me... But to me the wine was very approachable, medium bodied
and open.

I have drank a bunch of 2000 Bordeaux and have also had some older ones
(recently a 1970 Chateau Canon), so I realize how these wines can open up
over time. I realize the same for some Cabernets and Brunellos... But I
don't see that same quality in the Bertani Amarone. Again, I found it to be
delicous.
