‘Speak softly and carry a big stick’ might well be the motto employed by Viviani. Like all their wines this doesn’t throw its weight around. In fact the Amarone needs considerable time in a decanter to reveal the power behind the elegance. For gentlemen of a certain age, Purdy from the proper Avengers will give you a good idea. Time in air reveals balance, aromas of dried fruit, freshness and discreet oomph. (CW 05/07/12)
