Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is an red wine from Italy, in the Veneto region (Northeastern Italy, from the Dolomites foothills to Venice and the Adriatic; the plain around Verona and Treviso.), made principally from Corvina. The great dried-grape red of Valpolicella — rich, imposing and appassimento-made.
In character, this core tier delivers the classic corvina profile — red cherry, sour cherry, dried rose, spice — with the structural stamp of Veneto and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
