Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto

Dried-grape wine (appassimento method). Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone grapes are dried on straw mats for 3-4 months before pressing — concentrating sugars and flavors. Amarone DOCG is massive, rich, 15-16% alcohol, and ages 20+ years. Valpolicella Classico (lighter, everyday) and Ripasso (a "baby Amarone" technique) round out tastings. The drying rooms (fruttai) are extraordinary to visit in autumn-winter when filled with drying grape clusters.

💡 Book direct. Estate websites or a phone call gets you the same tasting for 20-30% less than aggregator sites. Many small estates don't list on GetYourGuide/Viator — the best discoveries come from driving the wine roads and stopping where the "Degustazione" sign points.
