Full-bodied and smoothly textured Amarone della Valpolicella for just $25 a bottle is an absolute steal! After hand-harvesting grapes and allowing them to partially dry, the team at Tinazzi transforms these traditional varieties into their 2017 Ca' de' Rocchi 'La Bastia' - a wine replete with notes of raisin, cocoa powder, vanilla spice, and a subtle earthy undertone. Savor a glass of this hefty red alongside coffee-rubbed skirt steak or walnut and mushroom bolognese over tagliatelle, or simply on its own with your favorite book and cozy blanket.
