Amarone is essentially a modern day update on a traditional wine made for centuries from dried grapes in the area around Verona in Italy’s Veneto region--Recioto della Valpolicella. Whereas Recioto is quite sweet, however, thanks to a substantial amoun...

Berry and red currant aroma. On the palate it was round and full of fruit with a burst of berry flavors and red currents along with some pepper. Low tannins and good acidity. A nice food wine. Read More

D/H 2013-2023- "Zenato is a reliable producer of quality Amarone, producing wines that always show personality and intensity. This delivers bold fruit and background tones of polished leather and dry tobacco. The mouthful is very bold and thick, boasting a playful touch of sweet spice."

Intense nose of plum, cherry and chocolate, I could not et my nose out of the glass. The palate revealed a smooth vanilla building to a rich smokey finish that was pleasan... Read More

I bought many bottles of Tomassi wine when I lived in Italy. If you pair this incorrectly then you do not get a nice flavor. Paired correctly this is a wonderful wine. Read More

Recently started drinking them, including the ripasso and amarone production variants, and love them. I have a west coast palate. Trader Joe's in Oakland carries one offering of each of the three, at low price points, and they are good. steve
