Allegrini's estate Amarone Classico blends Corvina and Corvinone in nearly equal measure with a small percentage of Oseleta; the result is a polished, internationally styled Amarone with plush dried-fruit concentration and a refined tannin frame.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Elegant

A 100% Corvina IGT aged in French barriques rather than dried: La Poja demonstrates the varietal's structure and ageing potential when treated outside the appassimento framework, producing a powerful, savoury red that rivals Amarone in complexity.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Bold

Brigaldara's Classico Amarone is known for its precise, traditional approach: careful appassimento in the estate's fruttai and mixed Slavonian/French oak ageing producing a structured, age-worthy expression.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Contemplative

Il Vegro is Brigaldara's prestige single-vineyard Amarone from the Il Vegro parcel; higher Oseleta concentration and extended ageing in a mix of small and large casks produce a richer, spicier expression than the estate Classico, with excellent concentration and structure.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

Domaso is the cooperative's flagship single-vineyard Amarone from the 14-hectare Maternigo hill parcel, showing appreciably greater concentration and mineral precision than the estate-level wine; the earthy, tobacco-cedar style reflects the Maternigo terroir's calcareous character.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Contemplative

Campagnola's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is produced from appassimento-dried Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes from the Classico hills. Two to three years in large Slavonian oak develop the characteristic dried fruit, dark chocolate and tobacco complexity of the DOCG's flagship wine.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

The most powerful and extracted Amarone on the market: tiny yields, four-month drying, four years in small French oak. Immense concentration of dried fruit, dark chocolate and iron. Built for multi-decade cellaring.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Contemplative

Dal Forno's entry into the Valpolicella range already shows the estate's signature intensity: deeply coloured, barrique-aged and concentrated beyond what the DOC classification implies.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Quintarelli's Bordeaux varieties treated to the Valpolicella appassimento method: dried Cabernet and Merlot producing extraordinary density, graphite-inflected fruit and a seamlessly long finish.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Contemplative

A blend of local Corvina with international Cabernet in the Quintarelli style: concentrated, savoury and structured, with the Bordeaux varieties adding colour and spine to the Valpolicella base.

Dry · Full-bodied · High tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Guerrieri Rizzardi's Amarone expresses the Classico zone from an estate with over 350 years of Valpolicella history. The extended appassimento (drying) of Corvina and Corvinone grapes concentrates flavour into a wine of great intensity. Three years in Slavonian botti soften the tannins while preserving the dried-fruit character.

Dry · Medium-bodied · High tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

Raboso Piave is one of Italy's most ancient and austere red grapes, native to the Piave river plains in Treviso province. Italo Cescon has championed its rehabilitation since the 1960s. High tannin and acid give the wine its characteristic austerity, but serious age-worthiness.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

Le Salette's estate Amarone Classico, from the high-altitude Fumane vineyards farmed by Monica Scamperle, shows the distinctive freshness and orange-peel note that characterise the estate's high-elevation fruit; a more approachable entry to the Le Salette style than the Pergole Vece.

Dry · Full-bodied · High tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Fratta is Maculan's Bordeaux-inspired flagship red, one of northeastern Italy's landmark wines. A Cabernet-Merlot blend aged 18 months in new French oak, it rivals top Veneto reds in complexity and ageing potential. Fausto Maculan was among the first producers in the Veneto to vinify Bordeaux varieties at serious quality levels.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

From the single Torbe hillside vineyard in the Negrar valley, Campolongo di Torbe is characterised by spicy, tobacco-inflected dried fruit with earthier notes than Masi's more opulent Mazzano bottling.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

Masi's entry-level Classico Amarone is the house's most widely distributed wine and among the most accessible classic-zone bottlings, balancing dried-cherry concentration with a restrained herbaceous character and good structure.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Mazzano is Masi's most powerful and concentrated single-vineyard Amarone, from the high-altitude Mazzano hill in the S. Ambrogio zone. More opulent and riper than Campolongo, with a chocolatey, rich palate and remarkable ageing potential.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Rustic

Masi's Toar is a 30% Oseleta-dominant Veronese IGT that deliberately showcases the rarely-used indigenous variety; partial drying of the Oseleta component adds concentration and the grape's characteristic dark spice and iron mineral character.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

The Nicolis family's Amarone from the Villa Girardi estate in San Pietro in Cariano reflects a traditional, large-cask aged style with tobacco-leather character and solid structure; consistent quality across multiple vintages.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Ambrosan is the single-parcel selection from Nicolis's oldest vines on the Villa Girardi estate, given an extra year in large Slavonian casks compared to the estate Amarone; a more concentrated and austere expression of tobacco-cedar style with excellent ageing potential.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Rustic

The 20% Oseleta in Campo dei Gigli adds a peppery, dark-spice dimension to the Corvina-Corvinone dried fruit base; from the Mezzane valley outside the Classico zone, the wine shows an earthier, more structured style than comparable Classico Amarone.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold

Tommasi's estate Amarone Classico represents the fourth-generation family's traditional approach: a high proportion of Corvinone adds floral lift to the dried-cherry concentration while three years in large casks develops structure.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold

Ca' Florian is Tommasi's single-vineyard flagship Amarone from the old Ca' Florian hillside in the Classico zone, showing dense, chocolatey concentration with elegant tannin structure and long mineral finish.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Rustic

Zenato's Classico Amarone incorporates 20% Oseleta adding firm pepper tannin and dark fruit spice to the Corvina-led blend; aged in a combination of large Slavonian and small French oak that bridges traditional and modern styles.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Elegant

Zyme's Kairos is a modern interpretation of Classico Amarone; former Quintarelli cellarmaster Celestino Gaspari applies small French oak ageing to produce a polished, concentrated expression that bridges traditional intensity with contemporary oak integration.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Funky

A 15-variety blend in the Veronese IGT classification, Harlequin is Gaspari's conceptual statement: every grape variety grown across Zyme's vineyards co-fermented after partial drying, producing a complex, layered wine with extraordinary aromatic diversity.

Dry · Full-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Bold · Elegant

Richer, more luxuriant Smaragd Grüner Veltliner from the Frauenweingärten (women's vineyards) Ried: concentrated peach and pepper spice with full body and mineral depth.

Dry · Full-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Bold · Savoury
