Wine tasting in Valpolicella, Italy

Day D. Finally, it was time for wine tasting. I have talked about this for years, and we set the GPS to Verona and Valpolicella. We had received a recommendation from a person who posted on our site about a fantastic Amarone wine that costs around 800 SEK in Sweden. So why not try to find it?

Red wine - Amarone from Valpolicella

If it tastes good, it costs. This old adage often holds true. Once you have tasted something that is outstanding, you want more. I am talking about red wine and then about Amarone wines, they are really in a class of their own.
