About the Wine

The world loves Amarone, and so do some of the most important wine critics in the world. Robert Parker once said: “One wine that shines particularly bright in the Veneto is the mighty Amarone, where it is king”.

This red blend from the Veneto region is one of the most unique and sour-after wine styles in the entire world. The process to produce this wine is complicated and delicate, which makes it a wine with an impressive reputation. Amarone grapes are harvested early because they will lose acid during the 100-120 day drying period. The grapes are dehydrated after being harvested, to later be fermented, and this is reflected in powerful, deep, and luscious wines! And just like James Suckling stated: "Amarone is a wine to drink with a lot of contemplation." 

Fun fact: The first Amarone was bottled in 1950 and was recognized as a DOCG only in 2010.

Just a little over 20 miles from Verona is located Progetti Agricoli, a company founded in 2015 by experts and wine lovers.

Tasting Notes: Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone. Complex and intense aromas of cherries, intertwined with the freshness of undergrowth smells. Bouquet of cinnamon, cherry jam, and a palate of ripe black cherry fruit. This wine pairs lovely with game, roasted or braised red meats, and mature cheeses.
