  Amarone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amarone della Valpolicella is an often powerful Italian wine made from dried grapes of the Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara varieties.
Made near Valpolicella, Amarone is made by harvesting ripe grapes and allowing them to dry, traditionally on straw mats.
Depending on weather conditions, the wine may be influenced by noble rot, although not necessarily in a positive way.

 Luigi Righetti
In addition to the traditional Valpolicella, Bardolino and Amarone, the estate has produced two exceptional wines using grape varieties not commonly grown in the region: "Il Sogno", a cabernet sauvigion, and "Valcaia", made with corvina, cabernet sauvignion and sangiovese.
Like Amarone, the grapes for making "Il Sogno" and "Valcaia" are also dried, at least partially, prior to fermentation, giving these wines incredible richness and depth.
The wine is a traditional blend of the corvina, rondinella and molinara grape varietals that have had a second fermentation on the pressings of the Amarone grapes (a process called "ripasso").
