THE VALPOLICELLA REGION – ITALY
THE GREAT BITTER II:
THE BURGUNDY VS BORDEAUX SCHOOLS
OF WINE THOUGHT IN AMARONE
hile the appreciation of wine does not necessarily require prior knowledge; in
fact, I’m here to vouch for the humbling joys of blind tasting; it certainly brings a
rich seam of enjoyment when the traditions, innovative know-how, and creative je
ne sais quoi are delved into as a means of savouring why wine, and in particular the
high skill demanding Amarone, can be so deliciously complex and yet within a
fiercely loyal and rigid rule system, entirely diverse in style, writes Kris Bonavita.
This page: San Giorgio di Valpolicella, a quaint village nestled on a hill surrounded by prized vineyards and olive groves,
enjoys one of the most breathtaking vistas in the entire Veronese region. Photography Michael Martinelli.
