DEFINITION

Amarone

Amarone della Valpolicella is a full bodied DOCG dry red wine from Veneto in Italy. It is famous for its high alcohol, bold tannins, low acidity and complex flavors of dried cherry, chocolate and spice. Crafted through the appassimento technique where grapes are dried for months to concentrate their flavors, Amarone is often made from Corvinone, Corvina and Rondinella grapes.

Did you know? The grapes used for Amarone are dried for 3 to 4 months in the appassimento process, losing 30-40% of their weight and concentrating flavors dramatically.
