Episode 14 Amarone della Valpolicella

In this episode, we analyse Amarone della Valpolicella using the WSET Level 3 Systematic Approach to Tasting. Produced in Valpolicella using the traditional appassimento method, Amarone della Valpolicella is a full-bodied, high-alcohol wine with pronounced flavours of dried cherry, plum, fig, chocolate and spice, supported by high tannin and acidity. We explore structure, concentration, winemaking, ageing potential, and how to clearly evaluate quality and balance in an exam context. Ideal for WSET Level 3 blind tasting preparation.
