Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - First book to focus specifically on the wines of Verona - In the last four decades Amarone production has grown from 1 million bottles a year to 14 million, making it one of the world's fastest growing wines in terms of popularity - Handy combination of history, winemaking explanation, grape profiles, producer stories and tasting guide - Author is an expert on and importer of Italian wine and a Decanter World Wine Awards judge The Veronese wine regions of Soave and Valpolicella - home to Amarone - are currently producing some of the world's most drinkable quality wines. But both regions still struggle with a reputation for cheap, poor-quality wines brought about through industrial-scale production during the economic depression following the Second World War. In Amarone and the Fine Wines of Verona, Italian wine specialist Michael Garner traces a shift in focus towards new levels of quality driven by a generation of producers inspired by the area's outstanding potential for producing fine wine. Both regions produce versatile wines which, as well as being both deliciously drinkable and relatively affordable, have the flavor and structure to accompany a wide range of foods. In Valpolicella an appassimento wine, the famed Amarone, has gained comparable status to Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino, while Soave overlaps with the tiny denomination of Lessini Durello, where sparkling wine is produced from the rare, local white grape Durella. Garner begins Amarone and the fine wines of Verona with a summary of the region's history, before detailing its geography, grape varieties and approach to both viticulture and winemaking, leading into a discussion of each denomination's character and wine styles. A cross-section of around 100 producers provides a capsule profile of each, along with analysis of some of their best and most distinctive wines. For students of wine, those in the wine business and wine adventurers alike, Amarone and the Fine Wines of Verona provides a gateway to a sorely misunderstood wine region.

Download or read book Amarone and beyond written by Sandro Boscaini and published by EGEA spa. This book was released on 2022-11-15T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandro Boscaini represents the sixth generation of a dynasty deeply rooted in the Valpolicella that has turned its love of the land and passion for Amarone, the legendary wine produced there, into the driving force behind a company and a brand that have acquired worldwide standing. This is his account of a family enterprise dating back to 1772, the year of the first harvest. It is a tale that covers two and a half centuries of winemaking tradition and innovation, told against the backdrop of historical events and interwoven with personal anecdotes and intriguing narrative regarding the family, its alliances, vineyards, cellars and vision for the future. While the first part is largely chronological, the second focuses more on management and company organization, describing how and why particular business strategies came into being. As the title of the book suggests, Masi is more than Amarone: it represents an enlightening case history of Made in Italy at its very best.

Book excerpt: Amarone has an ancient history. Appassimento, the delicate act of drying grapes which is fundamental to the style, has been in practice since Roman times, and the wine is a proud part of Venetian culture. But Amarone is also a modern creation. The big, rich, red wine was first internationally marketed in its current dry form in the mid-twentieth century. What twenty-first century wine lovers around the world know and cherish as Amarone is a product of age-old technique, modern science, and a few visionaries, primary among them, Sandro Boscaini. Acclaimed wine writer Kate Singleton tells of Amarone s rise to global distinction through the recollections of Sandro Boscaini, founder and president of Masi Agricola, from his earliest memories of sleeping a floor below newly harvest grapes drying on racks in the attic to convincing the editors of Wine Spectator to perform and publish the magazine s first Amarone tasting. To fully appreciate Amarone one must know the history of the Valpolicella and the Venetian Republic, a legacy which Singleton conveys in a rousing narrative. Also, Sandro Boscaini lovingly details the development of his technique, the special nature of the terrain and his connection to it, and the necessary elements that make a world class Amarone. Amarone is a passionate account of this unique wine, the place and people where it is grown and made, and the pleasure in sharing it with the rest of the world. AUTHOR: Famed wine writer Kate Singleton tells this tale through the recollections of Sandro Boscaini, son of founder Guido, and current chief, from his earliest memories of sleeping a floor below newly harvest grapes drying on racks in the attic.

Beyond Barolo and Brunello: Italy's Most Distinctive Wines is a look at the best examples of virtually every wine type from Italy. Written by an American journalist who has been traveling to wine regions throughout the length and width of Italy for more than a dozen years, this is meant to give wine lovers an insider's glimpse at the finest examples of not only famous wines such as Amarone, Barolo and Brunello, but more importantly, the everyday wines such as Soave, Dolcetto, Nero d'Avola and Verdicchio that are the backbone of the Italian wine industry. There are entries of more than 550 wines from more than 475 producers; each entry describes in detail several specifics about the wine, not only the aromas and flavors, but also the style of the wine as sought by the producer. More than just a technical approach to the Italian wine scene, this is an engaging look into the individuals who continue the work of their ancestors - that of creating a viticultural product that reflects a specific sense of place.
