Feudo di Marano Amarone della Valpolicella 2013, 15% alc. vol.

Amarone della Valpolicella is a rich, dry Italian red wine from the Veneto region. It is produced primarily from the Corvina grape. Amarone is caracterized by ripe, bold flavors.

Directly after harvest, the grapes are air dried through a process called " appassimento", which allows them to shrivel into raisins. This concentrates the sugar and flavors in the grapes, producing a distinctive and full-bodied wine wellsuited to aging.

It is often said that you can safely forget an Amarone in your wine cellar. Even average Amarones can be aged for 10 - 15 years. Depending on the vintage and aging technique, wines of exceptional quality can be enjoyed up to 30 - 50 years after bottling.

Despite its iconic status, Amarone only received DOCG recognition as recently as 2009.
