Monica Larner für Robert Parker: „If you like big Amarones, this one is big with a capital B. The most robust and powerful of the bunch, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Capitel Monte Olmi is also sophisticated and integrated, despite its huge alcohol content at 17%. I knew the alcohol was high, but I would have never guessed it was that high, and that speaks to the relative balance achieved here. It is sweet, robust and richly layered and textured in the mouth. This is a huge wine that will make you very happy, very fast. The blend is 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella and a 10% mix of Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella, Croatina and Forselina, which comes from the Monte Olmi vineyard in the Pedemonte hills. The grapes are dried for a lengthy four months. This is the estate's flagship label, and it became a Riserva starting with the 2009 vintage. “

James Suckling: „Very ripe morello cherries, dark plums, cigar box, kirsch and stemmy undertones, but also orange rind and plenty of floral elements. Full body, powerful and grainy tannins and a dense yet driven finish. Extremely pure fruit. This is always reserved and beautiful. Drink in 2020.“

Vinous: „Fully saturated red. Deep, rich aromas of balsamic cocoa, blackberry jam and aromatic herbs. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, with the depth and intensity of fresh dark fruit and balsamic flavors to support its oakiness. Rich and savory, this finishes with excellent energy and outstanding grip and length. The Capitel Monte Olmi always showcases a stronger balsamic note than Tedeschi’s entry level Amarone. Made with Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, plus some now rare Rossignola from the oldest section of the vineyard (which is 50 years old and was originally planted to many different varieties as was commonly done decades ago). The grapes are air-dried roughly three months (an ulterior, small, batch of grapes is actually pressed after four months).“

Wine Spectator: „Intriguing and aromatic on the nose, with a lovely sage and incense character, this sleek, full-bodied red reins in power, offering a tightly knit core of raspberry puree, Earl Grey tea and rich, loamy earth flavors that linger on the long and fragrant finish. Drink now through 2030.“

Wine Enthusiast: „Enticing aromas of scorched earth, cooking spice and mature dark-skinned berry emerge from the glass. The dense full-bodied palate offers steeped prune, licorice and black pepper alongside firm polished tannins. “

Falstaff Magazin: „Dunkles, funkelndes Rubinrot. Konzentrierte und vielschichte Nase nach warmen, reifen Waldbeeren, Cassis, schwarze Holunderbeeren, unterlegt von feinem Sandelholz. Kraftvoll mit viel Spannung am Gaumen, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, Frucht, Würze, dicht gewobenes und saftiges Tannin, endet mit festem Druck, kann noch reifen, ist jetzt schon ein Erlebnis.“

Trinktemperatur: 16-18°
