94 WA "The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella is another in a string of stellar wines from Marion. The 2006 comes across as almost painfully young in its intense structure. With time in the glass, the wine’s inner sweetness, richness and perfume emerge loud and clear . . . . Proprietors Stefano and Nicoletta Campedelli have established themselves as among the most promising young producers in Italy. I never pass up an opportunity to drink one of their wines. This is yet another fabulous set of new releases."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
A prolific northern region known for Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes, as well as Soave and Prosecco. Its finest reds are rich, warming and concentrated.
