The Galli family's winery is one of those that brought the name of Valpolicella and Amarone to the world at a time when few enthusiasts were familiar with the territory. Today, Marco and Paolo are witnessing the emergence of a new generation, with Marta, Paolo's daughter, already actively involved. Drawing exclusively on grapes from their higher vineyards and exercising immense patience in the cellar, they produce wines that age extensively before being released. The result is a distinctive style, one marked by aromatic complexity and gentle flavor. The Amarone '12, a reserve, offers up aromas of great complexity: it debuts with a sulfurous, smoky note that then gives way to dark, jammy fruit, then spices and finally a lovely hit of rain-soaked earth. The palate opens soft and velvety, finding energy and tannic rigor on the finish. The Marta Galli of the same vintage goes more in on fruit, while in the mouth it's rich, powerful and clearly defined in its profile.
