Amarone

Amarone della Valpolicella, better known as Amarone, is created in the Venitian region of Italy. In the beginning there was a single legal region, or DOC, for the Valpolicella name. These wines are made with the Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Molinara grapes. Two sub-groups emerged, though - recioto, which is a sweet dessert wine, and amarone, which is a dry red wine with great body. Both recioto and amarone are made with grapes that have been dried on racks, bringing out their flavors. Amarone is the fourth biggest seller in Italy, behind Chianti, Asti, and Soave. This fine wine has flavors of licorice, tobacco and fig, and goes well with game and ripe cheese. Amarone can be drunk immediately but get amazingly better with age.
