Gamba Amarone della Valpolicella comes from Cantine Gamba, a family winery in Colognola ai Colli in the Valpolicella Classico zone. Built using the traditional appassimento method, hand-selected grapes are dried on wooden plateaux for several months before pressing, concentrating flavour and structure into a rich, full-bodied dry red. Tradition and passion define the house style, and this remains one of Gamba’s core expressions of the Amarone category.
