Amarone della Valpolicella is a still red wine appellation in the hills of Valpolicella, north of Verona in Veneto, Italy. WineFortune tracks one wine here, from one producer, Allegrini, and lists it in the shop.
Amarone is made by the appassimento method: Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes are dried on racks for months before fermentation, which concentrates sugar, flavour and structure. The result is a full-bodied dry red with dark cherry, dried fruit, spice and a warming finish. The appellation carries Italy's highest designation, DOCG.
The WineFortune index median for the sub-region stands at €200 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. The tracked wine is Allegrini, Amarone della Valpolicella, Classico Fieramonte Amarone, with an index median of €200 per 75 cl. The WineFortune Premium Selection holds one vintage from this hub.
