Amarone della Valpolicella is an intense wine that highlights both the expertise and craftsmanship of the winemakers and the richness of the terroir from which it comes. Its history is relatively recent, as the first wine bearing this name was produced as late as 1938. The Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) designation was recognized in 1968 and then elevated to the highest level of Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) in 2010.
The Corvina grape variety makes up the majority of the blend, accounting for between 40% and 95%. The blend is primarily rounded out with the Rondinella grape variety. The grapes are harvested early, when they still have good acidity, and are then left to dry on racks or in stackable crates inside special buildings. Once dried—until they reach about 40% of their initial weight—they are vinified using traditional methods. The high sugar content means that wines from this appellation have an alcohol content exceeding 14% vol. Full-bodied and high in alcohol, they feature fairly intense tannins and particularly concentrated aromas of red fruits and spices.
