Winery: Scamperle della Rosa, Fumane Wine: della Classico Vintage: 2010 Price Category: $. We sell the 2010 vintage for €35 at AmaSub. Vivino Rating: 4.4

Aerating: Carafe two hours before you start to enjoy it. Tasting Notes: Dark berries. The 2010 vintage is on the dry side of an Amarone, older vintages have been sweeter. Soft tannins, low acidity. I highly recommend to pair this wine with pasta or a nice steak. Owners: The Scamperle family is running a very nice restaurant in the center of Fumane – Alla Rosa Scamperle. Their pasta and bistecca dishes are very good, and in summer you can sit outside on a very nice terrace and taste their and other Amarone wines. The other passion of their son Andrea is producing wine from classic Valpolicella grapes. They cultivate five hectares in Fumane, San Pietro and Cavalo. Other wines from the winery: Valpolicella Classico and a Ripasso

Aerating: Carafe for one hour before you start to enjoy it. Tasting Notes: Vanilla, and dark berries. Dry and soft in tannins, perfectly paired with a nice steak. But you can also enjoy it stand alone. Owner: Family Provolo is a very down to earth producer of fine wines in Mezzane di Sotto. There is no Chichi in whatever they do, all energy goes into their wines. Other wines from the winery: Gino (Rosso Veronese, named after the father of the owner), Campotorbian (Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC) and Entis (Veronese IGT) are some of the nicest wines below €20.00 I tried so far. They also produce an Amarone Riserva ($$$-$$$$) in certain years, which I still need to try.

Caraffing: Needed, but only 30 minutes before you can start to enjoy it. After one hour it is fully developed and very smooth. Tasting Notes: Oak, black berries and spices on the nose. On the palette berries, vanilla. Full bodied, soft tannins, stays very long and leaves a perfect impression. Owners: The Tedeschi family has a four century history in the wine business and is for sure one of the best Amarone makers in the world. Other wines from the winery: Their “basic” Amarone ($-$$) is very good as well, and in special years (like 1998, 2003, 2007, 2011) they produce a special edition of their Amarone, called “La Fabriseria ($$$$).
