Antolini is an Amarone producer to watch. This clean and elegant expression shows power and determination that is skillfully played off feminine aromas of wild raspberry and sweet spice. The wine is full and generous on the palate with a long, berry-driven finish.

Morópio Amarone beautifully reflects the traditional values of Valpolicella with delicate aromas of blueberry, root beer, red apple and Spanish cedar. The apple aromas are vibrant and enhance the fruit nuances, and the wine is very fresh and tonic to the end.

Recioto is a dark red dessert wine that pairs with chocolate fudge or spongy spice cake. This expression shows loads of dark sweetness and firm fleshiness backed by aromas of cinnamon, clove, cherry candy and blackberry jam.

This is a small estate, run by brothers Pier Paolo and Stefano, that delivers big surprises. The 2003 Amarone is a gorgeous wine with compelling territory-driven characteristics such as black cherry, violets, red apple, chopped herb, white stone and delicate harmony. It has great complexity, succulence and firm, dusty tannins.

Here’s a thin, crisp, no-fuss Valpolicella that would pair with pepperoni pizza or spaghetti and meat ragù. The natural acidity can cut through spicy meat and cheese, and the wine is lean but clean on the close.

From the Greeks words Theo for “Godly” and Broma for “beverage” comes this hearty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional grapes from the Verona area. The wine is high in alcohol and you feel it: Leather, spice and tobacco are followed by cherry liqueur.

This is a slightly volatile ripasso that does improve with time in the glass, although it never shakes that initial pungent awkwardness. It has a raw, thorny nature backed by aromas of green spice, dried fruit and good intensity of flavors. Imported by Frank Johnson Selections.

Ca’ Coato opens with a very inviting bouquet of sweet spice, vanilla, nutmeg and dried ginger followed by luscious wild berry and cherry. The 17% alcohol is high, but integrated, and although the wine is powerful and determined, it won’t burn your palate if paired with a hearty meat dish.

The wine makes a raw, sharp first impression that suggests a paring with a dish that is rich in cheese or butter. Fresh aromas of wild berry and white almond follow suit and the wine’s overall texture is soft but lean.
