Where can i buy amarone wine

The style evolved from the fact that wine producers in this cold northern area were always looking for ways to intensify the colour and intensity of these naturally lighter styles of red wine. The wine can be produced anywhere in the valpolicella area, but the smaller sub regions of Classico and Valpantena are labelled as such.

Amarone wine is made from the Corvina grapes, which are picked in bunches, and left to dry and concentrate, until the colour and sweetness has intensified dramatically. In the early days, the grapes were dried on straw mats in the warmest part of the house; now they are dried on steel pallets in the winery lofts for up to 3 months. Initially the grapes were used for the sweet Recioto wine, and Amarone was almost discovered by accident, when some of these wines fermented out to dryness.

Now the style is famous all over the world, and commands high prices. Amarone della Valpolicella is a powerful, intense and unique taste experience, and one which produces long and lingering memories for many.

Amarone needs robust food to cope with its intense flavours — rich game stews, slow roasted lamb, and beef are all good, and it also copes well with the traditional hearty, braised red meat dishes of northern Italy. Many Amarone fans believe the best way to enjoy this wine is simply with a piece of high quality Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, although mature cheddar would work well also.

Lastly, and surprisingly, the bitter chocolate and dried fruit flavours of Amarone, make the wine an alternative, odd but good match for dark chocolate desserts. Toggle navigation Offers Offers.
