Amarone

Amarone is one of the most popular red wines in Italy. Produced exclusively in Valpolicella, in the province of Verona, it is typically obtained from a blend of native red grape varieties: Corvina Veronese, or alternatively Corvinone, Rondinella and possibly other red grape varieties. Very similar to Recioto wine, unlike this one, it completes the alcoholic fermentation entirety, giving a dry and structured wine, complex and elegant.

With a deep red color, Amarone releases hints of ripe fruit, black cherry and raspberries in the nose. Long aging wine, it can develop notes of musk and tar in the most advanced stages. Warm and vigorous, Amarone is perfect at this time of year with a cheeseboard, with a big beefy stew (think ox cheek) or even with the turkey, especially if you’ve got a rich stuffing and sides in mind.
