Made from partially dried grapes (appassimento) — rich, powerful, 15-16% alcohol. The Valpolicella's grandest expression.
💡 Pro tip: Visit a producer during appassimento season (September-January) to see the grapes drying in the fruttaio. Allegrini, Bertani, Dal Forno are the legends.
Where to start
Buy a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella from a local enoteca, open it with dinner, and let the wine tell you about the region.
