The iconic Amarone wine style emerged in the 1950s, when local producers experimented with a longer fermenting period for their raisined, Recioto-bound grapes. The resultant dry wine style was dubbed Amarone, in reference to its drier, more bitter character. Amarone wines are unabashedly BIG. The 2021 vintage from Scriani is no exception with its rich, ultra ripe dark fruit, its dense, velvety palate structure, and warming finish. 2024-2034–JB
