You step from the air-conditioned minibus into a patchwork of low, sunbaked vines; rows slope and bend with the hills, the grapes still clinging like small, stubborn lanterns. Morning fog lifts off the plains between Venice and Verona and the guide points out the first bottles to come: Soave’s pale, citrus-bright whites in one direction, the dense, raisined reds of Amarone in another.

Verona’s wine culture dates back to Roman times; the appassimento drying method used for Amarone evolved in the Valpolicella valleys to concentrate grapes for richer wines.
