Amarone, an inimitable vin de terroir

GILBERT & GAILLARD WINTER 2011

A few kilometres from the city of Verona, the home of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the winegrowing region of Valpolicella spreads over an area of 30,000 hectares and offers lovers of big, strapping reds the longlasting nectar that is Amarone. Of course, there are other, simpler red wines such as Bardolino and Valpolicella, but even when produced with the Ripasso technique, these are but a pale reflection of the majestic Amarone.
