SPERI AMARONE CLASSICO SANT’URBANO 2019 IN THE TOP 100 WINES IN THE WORLD BY VINOUS

We are thrilled to announce that our Amarone Classico Sant’Urbano 2019 has been included in theTop 100 of Vinous for 2024, earning a place among the 100 best wines in the world, according to Vinous by Antonio Galloni.

The Vinous TOP 100 is not merely a list of the highest-scoring wines; as stated by Vinous, “this carefully curated selection represents the pinnacle of quality, value and excitement in the world of wine as determined by our team of expert critics, more than simply a list of our highest-scoring wines.” We are deeply honored that our Amarone, which has already garnered widespread acclaim from both national and international press, has been chosen for this exclusive list, reaffirming the value of our work.

We have always believed in the strength of our territory and in maintaining a classic, delicate, and pure style that resists fleeting trends. The words of Eric Guido, which highlight our values and tenacity, fill us with great pride:

EG: “Amarone is never shy, but it’s often too rich and fruit-intense for modern palates. While many of today’s producers work to create an Amarone with a more savory profile and lower alcohol, one winery mastered that approach: Speri. A Speri Amarone paints along classic lines, with mineral depths, structure and a pleasantly earthy personality. The best part is that you can even bring it to the dinner table.”

Below is the full review:

#79: 2019 Speri Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant’Urbano

Rating: 96 points – Eric Guido, December 2023

A compelling bouquet of dusty dried violets, fresh coffee grounds, cocoa powder and dried black cherries makes the 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant’Urbano impossible to ignore. This is wonderfully lifted and graceful in style, dense yet energetic with silken textures and polished red berry fruits that slowly saturate the palate. The 2019 youthfully folds in upon itself, leaving a bitter tinge of spice, dark chocolate and fine-grained tannins. The balance here is something to behold. The 2019 is full of potential—bury it deep.
