Martin SteinbreitnerHOST
Very fresh, medium-bodied, 12.5%, and pleasantly juicy, with flavors of fruit and delicate mango, spicy on the finish." End of quote.
Martin SteinbreitnerHOST
Who could be sad knowing they can count such a wine, especially the 2022 vintage, among his friends? I could repeat this little detour with my red friend Amarone, but I'll spare my listeners that, though I'm happy to answer any questions on the topic by email.
Martin SteinbreitnerHOST
Which brings us to our homework.
Martin SteinbreitnerHOST
Unless you don't drink wine for health reasons or as a matter of principle, let yourself be seduced by this drink.
CharlesHOST
You know VA? Okay, so volatile acidity, so sort of smells like polish in some wines sometimes.
CharlesHOST
Appassimento, the sort of Amarone style of drying grapes, creates more VA. I'm not saying this is it.
CharlesHOST
I'm just saying that's one of the, that's one of the wines you would find, where'd you find it in.
NickHOST
You know, I'm, I'm getting a whole, like, strong notes of s- uh, strawberry, uh, raspberries.
Marc MillonHOST
And what's interesting is that you were making such a unique expression from the classic grapes of Alpolicella, Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, the three red grapes that are also used to make three different expressions of red wine, again, which I enjoyed very much.
Marc MillonHOST
the Valpolicella Superiore, Determinazione, the Ripasso Wine Gentilezza, and of course, your Passione Amarone.
Marc MillonHOST
It is extraordinary that from the same grapes, you're able to make these two sparkling wines and these very different expressions of red wines.
Marc MillonHOST
Tell us a little bit about these wines.
Marc MillonHOST
Of course, this is the only one made from 100% fresh grapes.
Francesca MarcatoGUEST
Yes, it's obtained only with fresh grapes.
Francesca MarcatoGUEST
Because in Valpolicella denomination, we have Amarone that comes from Appassimento.
Francesca MarcatoGUEST
We pass from the technique and we prefer to express with our Valpolicella superiore our grapes.
Gregor HannahGUEST
sure.
Gregor HannahGUEST
We've done Amarone wine in Kalila, but I'm not a huge fan of table red wines and But Ryoka brings out that kind of
DuncanHOST
like tobacco and cherry notes.
MikeHOST
Well, I mean, this is the first one I've pulled the full sample of tonight.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
So I would say when talking about the type of consumers I deal with who are generally high net worth, they can afford to spend a bit of wines, I make a joke with them and I always call them ABBs.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
That's my name for them when it comes to Italian wine because they're only familiar with three Italian wines, which is Amarone della Valpolicella.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
Next one B is Barolo.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
And then can you guess what the next B is? Barbaresco? Oh no, Brunello.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
Yeah, it is Barolo, Brunello and Amarone, the ABB club.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
And it drives me insane.
Fongyee WalkerGUEST
But you can tell how that's happened because all of these are quite famous, quite... gives you status kind of wines.
Fionn DavenportGUEST
And then, like, if you like wine, so Valpolicella, the Italian wine is very close.
Fionn DavenportGUEST
Amarone is very close.
Fionn DavenportGUEST
Probably the
Ciara KellyHOST
finest of Italian wines, I always think.
Ciara KellyHOST
The
Fionn DavenportGUEST
Amarone.
Fionn DavenportGUEST
That would be your...
Fionn DavenportGUEST
I'm not, I don't know wine.
Jeffrey RoelGUEST
It also possibly has to do with the places that I've been.
Jeffrey RoelGUEST
I haven't sold a bottle of Amarone in a couple of years, which I'm okay with.
Jeffrey RoelGUEST
I do like Amarone, but its place with oysters that was very common several years ago seems to have waned.
Jeffrey RoelGUEST
And I do think in general, a lot of those riper, richer, more powerful styles have pulled back.
Jeffrey RoelGUEST
But part of that could be the absence of California.
John GazzoliGUEST
Yeah, I mean, the strongest regions have always been, you know, Tuscany where Chianti and Brunello da Montalcino are produced, Piedmont, Barolo, Barbaresco.
John GazzoliGUEST
We do very well in the Veneto with things like Amarone.
John GazzoliGUEST
You know, those are the wines that I think really continue to drive the market.
John GazzoliGUEST
Some of the whites from Italy's Northwestern corner do particularly well.
John GazzoliGUEST
Well, from Italy, I would definitely, again, look at Barolo because they're big and tannic.
John GazzoliGUEST
I would look at Brunello da Montalcino.
John GazzoliGUEST
I would look at Amarone.
John GazzoliGUEST
I mean, the three big reds, I mean, they're perfect with steak.
Elizabeth SchneiderHOST
Ice wine, where you're taking the water out and all you have left is the sugar.
Elizabeth SchneiderHOST
Late harvest wine, so basically you're crushing raisins or dried grapes wine, like Amarone.
Elizabeth SchneiderHOST
So very concentrated sugars.
Elizabeth SchneiderHOST
There's so much in there that most yeast strains are not going to be able to finish fermentation, especially natural yeast strains.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
Because it's in the Valpolicella region of wine.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
And one of the classic things that they do with Valpolicella is they make Amarone.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
And Amarone is used, the Valpolicella grape, and they dry it out.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
They used to put it on the roofs of the houses to dry out and then make it.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
And so it's almost like a sun-dried tomato, so to speak.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
It's just packed full of flavor.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
And then that goes into this wine that they make called Amarone.
Mike O'TooleGUEST
Since they're in that region, in Verona, one of their great specialties in that city itself is the risotto Amarone.
