PRODUCTION PROCESS. Amarone is a typically rich dry wine made from partially-dried grapes of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella. The grapes are harvested manually directly into small boxes where they dry for a period of 3 - 4 months. The appassimento method is unique to this wine and the process results in a very concentrated, raisiny full-bodied wine with low acidity. After a slow fermentation the wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation before being aged in small barrels for an additional 12 - 18 months.
