Amarone Monte Sant’Urbano is a single vineyard blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Corvinone.

Select bunches are hand picked in the last two weeks of September and dried for 110-120 days, losing over 40% of their initial weight. Although Amarone is a powerful and concentrated wine, the Speri style is more medium bodied, highlighting elegance and finesse. The bouquet is intense with cherries, spice, minerals and jammy notes, the palate rich, concentrated and structured with flavours that linger on and on. 


The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Sant'Urbano takes some time to blossom in the glass, as mineral-tinged blackberry evolves into a display of currants and cherries complemented by hints of sweet mint, lavender and violets. It’s velvety in texture and savory to the core, coasting dark red and black fruits across a medium-bodied frame, contrasted by vibrant acids, as grippy tannins form up toward the close. This finishes youthfully structured yet amazingly long, with echoes of licorice and purple inner florals. The 2016 is geared for the cellar, and in need of some time to soften, but my expectations are very high.
