How is Amarone made?

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG already shows its quality during the harvest, because for the production of Amarone only perfect, healthy and ripe bunches of grapes are harvested, which then undergo a process called "appassimento", or drying. The grapes are placed on special wooden or, increasingly, plastic crates in special drying kilns, and then slowly dried over a period of 3-6 months to concentrate the aromas and sugar. During the drying tract, the humidity and temperature in the rooms are carefully controlled to prevent possible mold growth.

The juice is then squeezed very gently from the previously dried grapes, which is slowly fermented (30-50 days) at a low temperature so that it does not lose its valuable aromas. Subsequently, Amarone is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 years, so that it can then age in bottles for another year. In the case of Amarone Riserva, the total aging period of the wine is extended to 4 years.

What does Amarone taste like?

Amarone , thanks to its production from dried grapes, is characterized by a high alcohol content (15 to even 18%), and a residual sugar of 5-15g per liter, and thus often tastes like semi-dry in perception. In the glass we notice a dark ruby color, smelling of red fruit jam, plum jam, strawberries. Spice, cinnamon, coffee and cocoa aromas also appear in the background. On the palate, Amarone della Valpolicella is very powerfully structured, intense and long, with soft tannins. A beautiful generally cherry finish crowns the work.

What to drink Amarone with?

The essential and deep flavor of Amarone della Valpolicella goes perfectly with meats such as game, beef, lamb. It pairs perfectly with aged cheeses. There are many recipes for risotto braised in Amarone. It will go well as a digestif after a meal instead of strong alcohol. The beautiful fruity bouquet, along with fruity aromas, is conducive to drinking solo, especially in the autumn and winter.

How much does Amarone cost?

The main factor influencing the price of Amarone della Valpolicella is the labor-intensive production method, but this is what makes Amarone so outstanding and valued. When choosing Amarone in Poland, we can see quite a large price discrepancy: in supermarkets prices range around 50-80zl, but they can taste much worse than those from reputable producers with traditions. For good quality Amarone in specialized wine stores we will have to pay from 150zl upwards, but it should be remembered that in this case the higher price follows the quality.
