hello fellow wine lovers welcome back to
my channel this is michael bolato
sommelier at your service in today’s
video we are going to travel around
verona north of italy to discover which
are the top three best italian amarones
in 2022 that they should try right now
we are going to discover a little bit
more behind this wine how it is made the
history behind it and we are going to
also try to pair these richer red
italian whites at the end of this video
but let’s start immediately
[Music]
so how amarone is made so first of all
the grips variety for amarones are
corvina rondinella and morinara mainly
they can use also corvinone and oseleta
they are all indigenous grapes from
north of italy from verona for each
other so the amarone is quite particular
because they use a metal that is a
little bit different first of all they
try to harvest in the first few weeks of
october so in this way they can get the
best ripeness of the fruit once they
harvest they put to dry out their grapes
in like in wooden
boxes or
shells for about 100 120 days
why this because in this way the water
evaporates from the fruit and the the
forest leaves them more sugar
concentration
and in this way
we are able to
get a higher level of alcohol amarone
indeed is a famous to be high in alcohol
but with not such a punchy tannins in
your parents like for instance maybe a
barolo or a brunello so that’s why
because they vinified the grapes that
are partially dried out so they are
richer in
sugar and there is less water and
therefore the wine is more concentrated
giving
higher level of alcohol a more lingering
palate and then we’re gonna discover
also the main feature and characteristic
so the history behind amarone is quite
interesting and fun they started
actually with the richard of
valpolicella richard is the sweet
version of the amarone everything
started from there so they were drying
out the grapes they were vinifying and
pressing to produce a sweet wine and
they were stopping the fermentation
fairly early compared to the amarone and
therefore you have a sweetener residual
sugar and the avocado is a beautiful red
sweet wine perfect with chocolate just
as deep
so what’s happening they easily say or
the legends say that basically they
left a barrel of uh wine keep fermenting
they kind of forgot it or something
happened we don’t know and therefore the
easter consume all the sugar and
therefore they had this uh dry red
chocolate therefore amarone and from
that everything started so this is a fun
fact that
can be interesting it’s not confirmed
it is just what people say in the area
but actually the reason are technical
and documented facts behind but it is
nice to think that everything started in
this way a position number three we have
a fantastic amarone house amarone wine
it’s called sperry winery and it is in
the valporicella classic spell is a
beautiful winery in the negra area by
police classic and it is the seventh
generation that is there at the moment
they are running the business so they
have quite a lot of experience they
produce one of my favorite amarone and
also recito and it is a certified
organic and we are going to see now a
little bit more behind it is
why in a second
and here we are with the sperry website
seventh generation in valpolicella
classical beautiful regional reach of
history look at the vineyards fantastic
beautiful
and we have here a little bit of the
big bottle that they use to vinify
indeed the wine
values of traditions
family with the seventh generation the
beautiful vineyards and we are going to
check out the wines
amarone they produce of different ranges
of wines all fantastic including the
ricciato the ripasso and the santorana
this one is also another outstanding gem
but we are going to check the amarone
today their first wine
and what they are famous for
property in the municipality of fumani
is located on a hill between 800 350
meter benefit in its benefit from
external exposure to sunlight and the
average of the vines is high
it’s over 30 years main grape variety
used are corvina
selection of the finest bunches followed
by drying for around 100 days which lost
about 40 percent in the weight of the
grapes and then aging in 24 months in a
big barrel french of okato no and 18
months in million to large slavonian oak
cask material but for 12 a month
high high
alcohol content as we say testing not
the most important part
a deep garnet writing call it has an
eternal bouquet of dried fruit dried
right through it on the palate it’s full
body warm mouth filling and dry a
substantial blind of rare elegance that
lends itself well to aging that is a

thank you position number two we have
amarone romano alfono one of the top
best amarone you can ever try by romanov
ramada forno started in the 80s and he
studied with giuseppe pinterelli he was
a kind of
helper in that he got the best of the
knowledge and he found his own
wire that he’s running with his family
beautiful winery beautiful estate and
outstanding amarone wine i tried quite
recently one of his amarone and i was
overwhelmed it is super nice super
elegant with a lot of red the fruit
dried the red the fluid spices
and very very long in the finish with a
touch of menthol and eucalypto also as
well so let’s dive into it and let’s
discover more behind the amaran alforno
and here we are with amarone dal for
normal forno we are going to check out
his
wonderful winery uh beautiful his romano
this is the winery they are
they have they have built a beautiful
beautiful estate definitely a little bit
of the story behind the beautiful movie
they
have
shoot
and
the reach of history
beautiful vinya beautiful landscape they
are a little bit
more on the side from the what porichala
classical but still they are able to
produce an amazing amazing wine
look at the vine the vines are quite old
now they are around 30 years of age
and um
that’s fantastic
let’s go to check a little with the
family behind so we can see the people
behind this is romano the one with the
bottle and these are his kid and the
wife they are running now the business
and
the territory
as we said vale
the valley they are located is fantastic
valley of ikelasi
beautiful and we are going to check
the wines they produce
fantastic wines they produce aval
polycharla that is fantastic they
produce the amarone indeed and the
street let’s go to check the amarone
here we go different formats available
so the best punches from vines
older
than 10 years are set aside for drying
in producing amarone strength energy and
elegance a combination that symbolize
the darfur normal cellulose philosophy
the unique complexity of this wine is
such that merely describing it as a
meditation wine because you can drink it
by itself that’s why it sent his a
masterpiece it’s taste of work of art
vanilla sour black cherry blueberry
chocolate truffle tobacco and leather
definitely i have drunk this one it is
like this
blueberries chocolate truffle
baron is the light in its own and i have
a classic complementary of guinea game
and meat dish and we’re gonna try to
find out which are the best pairing in a
moment
so that is a alforno for your join
and in position number one we have
amarone giuseppe quintarelli the
unchester the one that reinvented the
amarone and
each other they want that set the
benchmark for everybody else so
pinterelli unfortunately is not anymore
with us he passed away in 2012 at the
age of 84 years however he was the
best and the greatest contributor to the
renaissance of these wine
we there isn’t a website so we are going
to i’m going to show you some pictures i
found about have a this is the
quintessential amarone that you should
try once in life at a time
similar to little 401 but probably a
little bit more elegant with a bit less
spices compared to the
one because he only
um or they are aging his wines only in
the big to no big barrel instead of four
no ages normally in bar rigs
okay so um i like it a lot tamarind
had a chance to try it and it is
absolutely outstanding very elegant with
power like i would say a great
bordeaux wine so nothing to compare with
the cheaper amarone you can find
freestyle in the supermarket so this is
another level absolutely outstanding so
this is absolutely one of the wine you
should try this is the top one and
probably he will be for several years
still
and it is his legacy behind that has
been able to
um
pass to his family to his um uh
kids basically that now they are running
their business and he also trained
romano was in position number two and
they are always there
fighting to each other to the best one
so definitely this is a wine
you should try to find in the market
it’s not very easy the winery is not
very big they have 12 actors so
they cannot produce too much also if you
consider that they also hand harvest and
select and filter a lot of the grapes so
there are not many bottles around
however try to find it it’s a really
really great
wine to try
once at least in a lifetime and another
important fact and point is what are we
going to pair with the amaro amarone
food and pairings
so one of the best recommendations to
enjoy the amarone is with some meats or
rich pasta with meat or a braised meat
or even game okay so these are the best
recommendation and even with the hard
cheese this is fantastic let’s say at
the end of a meal you have a plate of
hard cheese that works fantastically
however it is also true that it works
very nicely by itself so let’s say that
you are having
a wine in front of the tv in a
nice evening or a nice winter evening or
rainy day and you want to relax and
enjoy a book or watch a movie so
mamarone is a perfect campaign so enjoy
also by itself so if you like this video

other videos that can be useful for you
and very interesting for you like the
