  • Understanding Amarone
    UNDERSTANDING AMARONE At 3000 years old, the ancient appassimento winemaking method is the epitome of tried and true. This technique of drying fully ripe grapes on mats or slated crates, for a considerable period of time before fermentation, reaches its apotheosis in the great Italian wines, Amarone and Ripasso. This method helps accentuate the sugars, energize the acids and integrate the tannins resulting in deeper coloured and fuller-flavoured wines. It’s fairly simple. Each producer determines the drying time of their grapes. Ideally, the grapes should raisinate in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to prevent rot. The dehydrated grapes are pressed and fermented dry. Since over 50% of each grape’s liquid (mostly water) is lost to the dehydration process, the flavours of the final wine are intensely concentrated and the alcohol level is anywhere from 2-5% higher than a typical table wine. The secret of this wine’s resurgence is directly related to the popularity of intense, fruit-forward New World wines. Amarones share some of the flavour profile of California Zinfandel or Australian Shiraz, but with a more refined balance between the complex aromas and flavours Amarone is produced in the region of Veneto by estates that make Valpolicella, one of the most popular wines of this area in Northeastern Italy. Amarone della Valpolicella, usually known as Amarone, is a typically rich Italian dry red wine made from the partially dried grapes of the Corvina (40.0% – 70.0%), Rondinella (20.0% – 40.0%) and Molinara (5.0% – 25.0%) varieties. The wine was awarded Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status in December 1990.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico
    Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vine Variety The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG DolceVera red wine is made from 50% Corvina grape, 25% Corvinone grape, 15% Rondinella grape and 10% from other grape varieties. All of them are native vines cultivated in the town of Villa of Negrar, at an alti- tude between 260 and 280 m a.s.l. The hilly area on which the DolceVera vines stand ensures optimal sun exposure for the ripening of the grapes and a balanced and more alcohol-rich production. Winemaking Amarone della Valpolicella DolceVera, is obtained from the best grapes harvested in late September and early October. After undergoing an extremely accurate selection process, they are put in boxes of 6 kg each and then to dry in a straw mat for about 3 months. After a weight loss of 40%, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, the fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24°C and the maceration on the skins lasts approximately 30 days. What is obtained is a sumptuous and valuable wine with notable alcohol content and an equally impressive structure. Wine aging Our Amarone is refined in barrels of 7,5 ht and then makes a passage in large barrels. All for a period of 36 months. For the aging, we use both the French oak that releases soft and silky notes on the wine, and that of Slavonia, which lead to an aromatic body of very rich spices. Everything takes place in the small cellar built near the main vineyard of Villa.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella 2016
    Amarone della Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita CLASSICO 2016 Produced in the classic Valpolicella area. The drying on racks of the Corvina, Rondinella, Rossignola and Negrara grapes until mid January and the ageing in large oak barrels and barriques, together with the long period of rest in bottles, allow us to enjoy this great wine. 2016 Climatic trend Winter temperatures were higher than average and particularly dry apart from a little snow. The following months saw temperatures fluctuate, with lower than average values, particularly in July and August. Rainfall remained high, with some days of continuous rain. There were typical summer storms, but no more than normal. The weather was decidedly good with the arrival of September when, despite considera- bly intense rainfall, high temperatures and breezes kept humidity low, enabling the vines to reach maturity. Autumn drew to an end with mild temperatures lasting through until early December. At the beginning of April, early bud break took place in almost all of the vineyards, followed by rapid leaf production. Flowering took place as per normal, towards the end of May. Growth then slowed down and veraison was shown towards the end of July/early August, as has been the norm in the past for the various varieties and environments. Ripening was complete about a month later and harvesting of the grapes destined for storage in the fruttaio began in line with historical averages. Production Grape varieties made up of 70-75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% Rossignola e Negrara. The grapes to be used in the Amarone production are har- vested 1-2 weeks earlier than those for the Valpolicella wine.

  • Tenuta Sant'antonio "Antonio Castagnedi" Amarone Della Valpolicella Docg
    TENUTA SANT'ANTONIO "ANTONIO CASTAGNEDI" AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG WINE STORY Amarone della Valpolicella is the most prestigious red wine of Veneto, and the four brothers who started Tenuta Sant'Antonio dedicate their primary Amarone to their father, Antonio Castagnedi. The best grapes from different vineyards are selected for this wine and are brought to the winery's drying room to undergo the appassimento process. After at least 3 months of drying, the grapes have shriveled and lost much of their water, while retaining their sugar, flavor, and other components. Once fermented and aged in new barrels, the Amarone is a powerful wine, yet fruity, fresh, and clean.

  • BERTANI Amarone Della Valpantena
    BERTANI Amarone della Valpantena Located near Verona in the province of Veneto in northeast Italy, Casa Vinicola Bertani is one of the region’s most important and influential wine producers. Bertani produces a full spectrum of the classic wines of the Veneto and has enjoyed a reputation for quality from the start. Bertani was founded in 1857 by brothers Gaetano and Giovan Battista Bertani, prosperous wine merchants who believed that quality winemaking held the key to the future. The Bertanis invested their funds in buying some of the finest vineyards in the province and making their own wines. As a result, unlike most other local producers, Vinicola Bertani owns its own vineyards and so is able to oversee the entire winemaking cycle from start to finish. Bertani owns vineyards and cellars in the Valpantena as well as land in the Soave area and in the areas around Lake Garda. The company headquarters are in the original cellars in Grezzana, north-east of Verona, where the historic vineyards are still to be found and where the work of vinification, aging and bottling take place today. PRODUCTION AREA Country: Italy Region: Veneto Appellation: Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena DOC The Valpantena hills, north of Verona. The soils are calcareous-marl in the east and calcareous-clay in the west, rich in iron. GRAPE VARIETIES 80% Corvina Veronese and 20% Rondinella PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES The vines are vertical-trellised and Guyot-trained, with a planting density of 5000 plants/ha. The harvest is done by hand and starts in the middle of September. The best grapes are selected so that only the healthiest and ripest bunches are sent to the drying rooms of the winery in Grezzana, where they are laid out in single-layer crates.

This wine will appeal to a hard-core group of Amarone enthusiasts who appreciate extra darkness, extract and intensity. You get all of that in this hot-vintage Amarone, and you also get a significant dose of oak spice (it ages in barrique for 18 months). In fact, those toasted tones of Christmas spice, clove and dark vanilla are what first emerge from the bouquet. And they emerge with force. The wine is super thick and dense. You could almost drink it with a spoon. I drank from the bottle 24 hours after opening it, and the wine was just as pristine and impactful as the day before. It remained virtually unchanged. The alcohol touches 16%. 93 Pioints Robert Parker 2011 Cecilia Beretta Amarone Riserva Valpolicella $46 This opens with aromas of grilled herb, resin, stewed plum and cooking spice.

  • Tenuta Sant'antonio "Antonio Castagnedi" Amarone Della Valpolicella Docg
    TENUTA SANT'ANTONIO "ANTONIO CASTAGNEDI" AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG WINE STORY Amarone della Valpolicella is the most prestigious red wine of Veneto, and the four brothers who started Tenuta Sant'Antonio dedicate their primary Amarone to their father, Antonio Castagnedi. The best grapes from different vineyards are selected for this wine and are brought to the winery's drying room to undergo the appassimento process. After at least 3 months of drying, the grapes have shriveled and lost much of their water, while retaining their sugar, flavor, and other components. Once fermented and aged in new barrels, the Amarone is a powerful wine, yet fruity, fresh, and clean.
