The Veneto wine region, located in northeastern Italy, is one of the country's most diverse and prestigious wine-producing areas, home to a range of styles from crisp Prosecco to bold reds. Among its most famous wines is Amarone della Valpolicella, a rich and complex red made using the appassimento method, where grapes are dried for several months before fermentation to concentrate their flavors. Produced primarily from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, Amarone is known for its deep ruby color, intense notes of dark fruit, dried figs, spice, and chocolate, along with a velvety texture and well-structured tannins. The unique climate of Veneto, with its cool breezes from Lake Garda and the Alps, plays a crucial role in shaping the balance and elegance of Amarone, making it one of Italy’s most iconic and age-worthy wines.

Join us as Nicola Biscardo takes us on a journey through Veneto, diving into the intricate winemaking process of Amarone and the other unique wines from the region.
