What is an Amarone: An Amarone from Valpolicella, what is that exactly? An Amarone is a dry red wine that is made from raisined-out grapes, a process also known as 'apassimento' in Italian, which literally means 'withering'. The grapes are harvested late in the season (mid-October) and then dried on mats or special climate chambers, losing 30-40% of their volume. This makes the wine more intense and deeper in both taste and colour.
