Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG comes from the hills north of Verona, where Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes are dried for months before fermentation. That appassimento method concentrates sugar, color, and flavor, then the wine ferments dry. The result is high in alcohol (usually 15 to 16.5 percent ABV), full-bodied, and loaded with dark cherry, dried fig, cocoa, and spice. It is a red wine, not a spirit, though it drinks with the weight of one, which is why our spirit shoppers often cross over to it.
Key styles to know
- Classico: Fruit from the historic Valpolicella heartland; the benchmark style. Allegrini Amarone Classico and Tommasi Amarone are classic examples.
- Valpantena: A subzone north of Verona known for slightly firmer, savory Amarone, as in Palazzo Maffei and Cantina di Verona bottlings.
- Riserva: Aged longer before release (at least four years), richer and more structured, and built for the cellar.
- Negrar and cooperative houses: Cantina di Negrar and similar growers deliver serious Amarone at friendlier prices.
How to choose and what to spend
- For a first bottle: Start with Masi or Allegrini Classico for a textbook expression.
- For a dinner party: Tommasi and Pra balance power with polish and pair with braised short ribs, osso buco, aged Parmigiano, or wild boar.
- For value: Cantina di Negrar, Cantina di Verona, and Sapor Temporis offer real Amarone character at lower price points.
- For gifting: Ask about custom bottle engraving to make a special bottle personal.
Serve Amarone at 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit and decant for an hour to open the aromatics. It also shines in cocktail recipes as a float or a bold base, and it holds up alongside after-dinner pours from our cordials & liqueurs selection.

Buying amarone online, answered
What is Amarone?
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is a dry, full-bodied Italian red wine made near Verona from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes that are air-dried before fermentation. That process, called appassimento, concentrates flavor and pushes alcohol to roughly 15 to 16.5 percent ABV. Expect dark cherry, dried fig, cocoa, and spice with firm tannins.
Is Amarone sweet or dry?
Amarone is fermented dry, so it is not a sweet wine. The air-dried grapes give it intense fruit and a rounded texture that some drinkers mistake for sweetness, but the finish is dry and savory. For genuinely sweet Italian reds, look to Recioto della Valpolicella instead.
How much does Amarone cost?
Entry-level Amarone from cooperative houses like Cantina di Negrar or Cantina di Verona sits at the lower end, while Classico and Riserva bottlings from Allegrini, Masi, Tommasi, and Pra climb higher. Riserva releases and older vintages command the most. Ask our team at (631) 343-7200 for current pricing and value picks.
