Italian Amarone wines

Amarone is a powerful and full-bodied red wine from the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. It is made from the Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes and has an alcohol content of at least 14%.

The process of making Amarone wines is called "appassimento." This involves drying the grapes for several months after harvest to concentrate the sugar content and aromas. The grapes are then pressed, and the must is fermented and aged in oak barrels to develop a deep red color, complex aroma, and rich flavor.

Amarone wines have an intense aroma of dark fruits such as cherries, plums, and berries, accompanied by spicy and herbaceous notes. They have a full and powerful taste with ripe tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Amarone wines are perfect companions to rich dishes such as beef, game, and lamb, as well as aged cheese. They are also suitable as an aperitif or as a wine to enjoy in the evening.

Due to their high quality and complex flavor, Amarone wines are often more expensive than other Italian red wines. However, they are considered some of the best wines in Italy and are a treat for any wine lover.
