AMARONE CAMP: A Wine Seminar with the Experts

About this Event: Part of Eataly’s Vino Camp Series, join us this month to learn all about Amarone! In this Wine Seminar you will join the experts for an educational night about Amarone, one of Italy's most prestigious red wines. Enjoy a sit-down intensive course hosted by the wine producers and experts themselves to learn about the history, production, and flavors of this esteemed Italian wine. Taste various selections of Amarone while enjoying food pairings crafted by our chefs.

About Amarone: Hailing from Veneto, Amarone is produced in Valpolicella, a winemaking area that boasts rolling hillsides and a mild to cool climate. Unlike other wines, Amarone undergoes a very unique process prior to fermentation. In late October, grapes are harvested and allowed to dry for around 120 days with a technique know as appassimento. After the grapes have dried, they are crushed and fermented at low temperatures for one to two months. Finally, the wine is ready to be aged in oak barrels, typically for five or more years. The use of partially dried grapes helps concentrate the juices and increases skin contact, giving the wine a ripe, full-bodied flavor and alcohol content of 15% or higher. No other wine is made this way, making Amarone a truly unique vino. In Italian, Amarone means "the Great Bitter," thanks to its tannic, yet pleasantly bitter finish without being acidic or sharp on the palate. This silky red often boasts a ripe, full-bodied texture and an almost chocolatey flavor with hints of red cherry and dried fruit.
