The Wine Experience      

Amarone                           

Get ready for a lip smacking good time.  It's with a great big yummy red wine from Italy - Amarone.  

Amarone is one bold, dark and chewy wine with so much flavor you'll go "wow!"

Here's why:

It's from the Veneto region and made in a unique way.  After the grapes are picked they aren't crushed right away like for most wines.   Instead they're placed on slatted racks, laid out on straw mats or even hung from the rafters in bunches at drying lodges.   Yep, they're allowed to dry out, or partially raisin, for about four months.   This concentrates the sugars, acids and flavors.  

The Amarone wine made from these grapes is powerful stuff. a big red with hearty fruit, a bittersweet chocolate and a somewhat raisiny taste.   Amarone is then oak aged for up to five years before bottling and release to us.  

It's ready to drink and a real mouthful that's great with hearty winter dishes.
