Product information
Amarone is one of the oldest Italian wines. In the 4th century AD, Cassiodorus, king of the Goths, described a wine called Acinatico.
Probably by chance, the production of a completely dry recioto gave rise to this wine in the past.
Obtained DOC status in 1968, Amarone represents a small part of Valpolicella's production.
Since the times of Cassiodoro almost nothing has changed and the production method has remained artisanal.
Amarone is a wine rich in alcohol, glycerine and resveratrol, it is a wine that cannot be compared with any other in the world, even when it comes to longevity.
With its deep garnet red colour, intense bouquet and dry flavour, it goes well with game dishes, roasts and mature cheeses.
Served between meals, it is an extraordinary meditation wine.
Host information
For generations, the Bonazzi family has been handing down the peasant work of grape growing and winemaking. The Fratelli Bonazzi winery is a family-run business, producing excellent classic vintage wines. The winery and vineyards are located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico area, in foothill plots supported by the characteristic dry-wall terraces (marogne).
The winery, in addition to being linked to the ancient winemaking traditions handed down through the ages, is nevertheless always very attentive to technological innovations.
This is why Mario, Luciano and Angelo are constantly seeking to make changes in the winery and vineyards that will allow for qualitative improvements in the great gift that nature has given us: wine.
