Here's Why You Should Stock Up

1. Among the vineyards of northeast Italy's Valpolicella district, the very best sites are typically reserved for the production of Amarone, which benefits from thicker skins as grapes undergo the requisite "appassimento" drying process, culminating in powerful, full-bodied, and velvety red wines.
2. The region's lower-yielding 2021 vintage was highly successful thanks to a combination of warm, dry conditions and well-timed rains that helped lavish wines retain vibrancy while promoting a lovely set of aromatics.
3. While it may be hard to believe, the 96-point Casa Defra Amarone della Valpolicella just arrived with a monumental price drop, meaning time is of the essence to claim your share before these bottles are all spoken for!
