Product Description
Buglioni's 'Teste Dure' — meaning "hard heads" — is the estate's most daring and singular expression of Amarone, aged entirely in traditional clay amphora rather than oak, a bold choice that sets it apart from every other Amarone Riserva in Valpolicella Classico. Acclaimed as one of the finest Amarone vintages in over a decade, the 2015 harvest delivered grapes of extraordinary concentration and elegant freshness, with Buglioni's meticulous hand-selection and extended appassimento drying transforming Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella into something truly collectible.
Deep, dark ruby in the glass, Teste Dure opens with intense aromas of bitter coffee, velvety plum sauce, dried fig, clove, and dark chocolate, leading to a palate of remarkable depth — grippy yet refined tannins, bright acidity, and a finish of extraordinary persistence that lingers long after the last sip.
