Method and source check
We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.
Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.
3 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description
Zýmē La Mattonara is the absolute masterpiece of winemaker Celestino Gaspari - an Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva of legendary quality. The name 'La Mattonara' refers to the bricks ('mattoni') on which the grapes are traditionally dried for the appassimento process.
The wine is made from the best grapes of the oldest vineyards: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. After drying, the wine ages for years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by extensive bottle aging. The 2009 vintage is one of the most acclaimed from this house.
On the nose, an overwhelming complex bouquet of dried fruit, raisins, candied cherries, pure cocoa, tobacco, leather, balsamic, minerals and exotic spices. On the palate it is monumental: full, powerful and incredibly layered, with a velvet texture, perfect tannins and an endless finish.
Rated with the highest scores by all major wine critics. Only a few thousand bottles produced. Ideal with game, ossobuco, aged hard cheeses and truffle dishes.
