Amarone della Valpolicella (DOCG) is a rich, dry Italian red wine made from dried grapes of the varieties Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. It is considered to be the most prestigious wine of the Veneto region and one of the most important Italian big reds, which is usually highly priced.
The wine ages exceptionally well and though the minimum required period for the prestigious Amarone Riserva is four years, great producers tend to age it much longer. Amarone is an incredibly flavorful, concentrated wine, with aromas of fruit jams, cinnamon, chocolate, and spices.
It is recommended to pair it with grilled, braised or roasted meat, game, or well-aged cheese varieties.
