Valpolicella is an extraordinary wine as it comes in several guises. Many consider Amarone to be the best of all. The key to Amarone is the process of appassimento where by the healthy ripe grapes are picked at normal harvest time but then left to dry or appassire in a well-ventilated place, so that they become dehydrated and raisin-like. They are finally pressed early in the New Year. The wine is then aged in barrel for at least three years. This example is deep in colour, with rich cherry notes on the nose, while the palate is beautifully rounded and dense, with intense fruit and layers of flavour and some tannin. It needs warming winter dishes or firm cheeses to tame the flavours.
