great stuff im drinking a ripasso valpolicella....will move upto an amorone...looks great there

[@bloomfieldgriller2957]

Thanks, D, very instructive. I was not aware of the high quality of the Amarone wines. See you on Sunday!

[@robertjames-life4768]

Discovered Amarone in Rome three years ago. Heaven in a glass. Can’t believe you poured the glass into the can! 😮

[@decantswithd]

Amarone is great! Very heavy, though!

[@robertjames-life4768]

@@decantswithd that’s what we love about it! Cheers. 🍷

Dietmar, you’re the highlight of my weekend. Keep it coming!

[@grahamster8]

This video is great. Your energy is fantastic my guy. Keep it up.

[@patrickrudiger8762]

They usually loose about 30% of weight only - FYI: non-dried grapes usually have only about 81weight percent of water, and obviously, although most amarones have a rather large amount of extract (often 35-40gramms per liter) and a high alcohol content (16 vol%, so presumably a bit less than 160g/liter) they are still about 80% water. They have less water than many other wines (since the 19% non-water part of most grapes partially does not end in the wine - because obviously the skin is removed after maceration), but they are still mostly water, obviously.

Love your energy hahaha. I'm always looking for an intense wine. How do you say this Amarone compares to the brunello or barolo? Thank you 🌻

[@justinemacphee9478]

omg you make me smile :D ...HELLO from nova scotia, canada !! i love your energy. i am starting to dive deep into the wine world in hopes of a job promotion at my work! you make great videos keep em coming!!!

Thanks Justine! Cheers to NS

Hello sir! Have you ever tried Zenato's Amarone? Can you please tell me how's it?

[@m.g.b.2203]

I just found this man because I'm looking to pick up an Amarone for a bok accurate Silence of the Lambs inspired dinner for Halloween with my partner. I love his energy so much already, I've never been more excited for wine. Edit: I would already kill for Cork Owl

[@decantswithd]

H. T.K. How was the movie and how was the wine? All Best! D

[@m.g.b.2203]

@@decantswithd your video was very informative! I think it helped me laser in on the age (and ideally price!) range for the bottle I'll be looking for; I'm thinking I'll look for something in the 8 y/o range. I didn't know how cheap they'd be!

[@benpascall4297]

Should it not have been a ‘nice chianti’ for Silence of the Lambs

[@kbirdx]

love your videos but why'd you pour out so much into your glass onto to toss it away after 😢

[@justus6233]

Ist wirklich ein gutes Video!

[@decantswithd]

Vielen Dank!

[@TonyS-cm9xk]

Very Nice

[@decantswithd]

Thanks Tony

Have you tried the 2015 Giuseppe Campagnola Amarone? Easily the best bang for your buck if you can find it. Under $30 and better than $50+ bottles I've had. James Suckling rated it 95 points recently and I was blown away.

[@decantswithd]

Chris G I did not. Will find it

[@docmccoy89]

I just picked up a bottle of 1999 bertani amarone della valpolicella Classico. This is the first really aged bottle I’ve bought and I have no knowledge or experience with aged wines. Also I haven’t tried an amarone before. Do you know what year this bottle should be drank?

[@decantswithd]

Amarones can age if stored properly. Easily 10 - 20 years. 25 is a stretch. I would have drunk that bottle between 2010 and 2012

[@docmccoy89]

@@decantswithd do you think I should try to resell it or cut my losses and drink it like it’s grape juice?

[@decantswithd]

@@docmccoy89 It may still be good. 99 was a good year. It all depends on the storage. Drink it! Btw, there is a store in NYC that tries to sell the 97 for $499

[@docmccoy89]

@@decantswithd thank you for the replies! I drank it and I found it very interesting. I’ll have to get a couple more bottles of amarone to use as a reference now. I got the bottle in st James I’m a regular guy from Long Island too I just happened to find your youtube.

[@carlograndga3409]

Amarone, high in sugar ? ( 4-12g/L) Did you drink recioto della Valpolicella ? (50-100g/L)

I once had Amarone from 15 different producers in my cellar.

[@decantswithd]

Alastair Green Wow, Alastair! Which were your top 3? I want to do an Amarone tasting again early 2021.

[@alastairgreen6783]

@@decantswithd Bussola, Quintarelli, and Dal Forno. That said, they were all very good.

[@bhaumikunadkat1264]

Hi Alastair! If you have ever tried Zenato's Amarone, can you please give me a review about it?

[@SDF5150]

Just picked up a Costasera Amarone Classico for $50. I'm a bit disappointed...

[@decantswithd]

What year did you pick? Amarone often needs time. I tasted the 2007 and it was good. The 2009 and 2010 should drink nicely right now.

[@SDF5150]

@@decantswithd it’s a 2015, so maybe you’re right.

[@NL90000]

@@SDF5150 2015 was a good year, but should probably not be opened for another couple of years.

[@SDF5150]

@@NL90000 I'm not an expert when it comes to wine, so there's a good chance I didn't open and drink it properly. Thanks for the advice, next time I pickup a good wine I'll wait a while.

[@stigjensen4818]

Waste of good red wine! Feel so sad! Fill the glas up why? To take one sip 😭🤛🍷😁

[@decantswithd]

Stig Jensen You’re right will use less going forward. Want to get enough in the glass to have a good sniff and be able to tell color, though. Cheers!
