How long can I keep a bottle of Amarone?
An average Amarone can last 10-15 years in a cellar. Leaving it not exactly in the perfect storage place will probably shorten this ageing time, but if you are planning to drink it within few years it should be fine.
Do Amarone wines age well?
Whether Amarone is drunk young or old is a matter of taste (or mood). An Amarone from a good vintage and winery can age for 20 years easily and sometimes even longer. But be careful with lesser vintages (like the 2002), these cannot age well and should be drunk when they are still young, which is between 5 and 7 years.
Is Amarone expensive?
Amarone will usually run you $50-$60 which isn’t cheap. While some wine prices are artificially inflated, there’s a somewhat practical explanation as to why Amarone is one of Italy’s top red wines. To do so properly, we must begin at the end, with Amarone’s family name: Valpolicella.
