Amarone has been "made" a DOCG
Amarone, Italy's newest DOCG!
It's like being let into THE FAMILY. Is it necessary? I personally know plenty of people who are willing to pay for Amarone without the pink neck tie around the bottle.
Is there anything noble about a process? I'd say yes in the case of Vin Santo, Recioto, Madiera, Tokay, and endless other wines but I worry about a region being elevated while the production has increased 650% in the last decade.
Amarone, with all due respect, it just seems a little funny.

Interesting. Deserved, though I'm not sure it even matters anymore. Mostly, I'm just glad WSW has a new post!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan- is there a way to contact you directly? We'd like to invite you to a winemaker dinner for Atlanta area wine bloggers in January 2010 but don't currently have your email!

Ryan, could you suggest a wine for me on my blog. I will be servings skate wing, sauteed with brown butter, capers, tomato and garlic with a little chop parsley. Let me know!
