2. Amarone is obtained by grape varieties from the Valpolicella area (Verona), among which there are Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara;
3. the velvety structure of this precious wine is the result of an accurate selection of the grape clusters. The grape berries should be "spargoli", which means not too close; this will guarantee an optimal drying, which will give a higher quality wine.
