“Amarone – or more formally Amarone della Valpolicella – will always be thought of as one of Italy’s most important red wines. Given its unique production method, as well as the fact that typical alcohol levels are 15.5% or 16%, Amarone is also one of the most distinctive wines produced anywher e in the world. Despite opinions from some that it too often lacks elegance and finesse, Amarone retains its relevance and popularity among Italy’s iconic wines, and it seems clear that this situation will not change any time soon.”
