Amarone is a very well-known air-dried wine in Italy. Although it has a hint of bitterness, it is a unique feature of this powerful wine. Two grape varieties must be selected for brewing Amarone according to regulations, one is 45%-95% Corvina, and the other is 5%-50% Rondinella, although Amarone may also be used now Including any Italian red grape variety authorized by the province of Verona, but the proportion cannot exceed 15% .

So, how to carry out air-dry brewing? After the fresh grapes are harvested, the grapes used for brewing Amarone need to be air-dried for at least 120 days. These grapes are either hung under the beams or laid flat on the grass mat. During the air-drying process, the acidity in the grapes begins to metabolize. And transformation, the tannins also begin to aggregate and change, which makes the final brewed Amarone rich. Due to the large amount of evaporation of grape water, the air-dried glucose content is very high, and the high sugar makes the fermentation time longer, sometimes as long as two months. Finally, the wine will be placed in oak barrels for more than two years. aged.

There are several different styles of Amarone in general:

1. A youthful fruity fragrance. Although most Amarones will be aged in oak barrels, they will not use oak barrels heavily. It is generally recommended to drink them within 10 years. This kind of young wine has a round, soft and harmonious taste, and the price is relatively affordable.

Because the grape varieties and crafts of Amarone brewing are relatively complicated, raw materials, labor and time are consumed, and the cost is high, so the price is generally high and it is suitable for collection. With good grapes and oak barrel aging, the aging potential after bottling can reach as long as 20 years, so it is very suitable for collection.
