Valpolicella & Amarone: The Complete Guide to Italy's Most Celebrated Wine Region
Valpolicella is not a single wine but an entire world — from the fresh, cherry-bright Classico to the structured depth of a Ripasso, the monumental complexity of an Amarone and the rare sweetness of a Recioto. These articles explore the appellation in full: its history, its geography, its producers and the experiences that connect a glass to the landscape it came from.
Enouting is based in Verona, at the edge of the Valpolicella Classico zone. Our team visits these wineries regularly, tastes across the spectrum, and translates that knowledge into guides that go well beyond what you'll find in a standard wine book.
