Synopsis
MichaelGarner's Amarone and the fine wines of Verona is the first book to focus on thethird of the triumvirate of great Italian reds: amarone. Garner describes theastonishing growth of amarone's popularity during the last twenty years and itsrise from a wine that first appeared in the 1950s to its role today asambassador for the fine wines of Italy. Tounderstand amarone properly the wine needs to be seen in its true context, thatis within the hierarchy of the wines of Verona, which have a history ofproduction and consumption dating back to pre-Roman times. The other wines ofVerona are no less well-known if not necessarily held in such great esteem:soave and valpolicella have been among post-war Italy's top selling wines. Theytoo are wines with massive followings. MichaelGarner's Amarone and the fine wines ofVerona is a sure-footed guide to all aspects of Veronese wine production,examining the history of the wines and geography of the region as well asviticulture, climate, grape varieties, wine styles and appassimento. Amaroneand the fine wines of Verona concludes with profiles of all the region'simportant producers, including assessments of their wines. Michael Garner is aworld authority on Italian wine and Amaroneand the fine wines of Verona is essential reading for all wineprofessionals, students and collectors as well as serious wine lovers and winetourists., Amarone and the fine wines of Verona is a sure-footed guide to all aspects of Veronese wine production, examining the history of the wines and geography of the region as well as viticulture, climate, grape varieties, wine styles and appassimento. It contains profiles of the region's important producers, including assessments of their wines., 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 flavour 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.
