I just love Amarone. It is luscious and silky, and so is this. If you have never tried Amarone then please do as you won't be disappointed. It is worth the extra money. i have never had a bad one but this one I thought was very good value for money. If you want to impress at a dinner party with a wine that people wont know, then this is your party piece. Amarone is one of the world’s most distinctive and unusual wine styles. It is produced in the same northern Italian region that creates Valpolicella and is mainly a product of the indigenous Corvina grape. When harvested, select lots of grapes are set out on mats to dry, thereby concentrating both sugars and flavors. The resultant wine is thick and rich with alcohol levels around 15-percent being common. Flavor-wise, the wines have distinctive porty overtones, though they are generally dry. Paired with game or other rich dishes, Amarone can be a revelation!
