Hello all,
any suggestions for a dish that would bring out the best in a 1998 Amarone della valpo? Thanks, Thomas in St Louis |

I asked this a couple years ago, and the answer was "none"! Cheese would be good. I think it's such an interesting wine that the point is the wine, not the pairing with food. Just MHO |

Beef in Amarone (http://www.spiked-online.com/Printable/00000002D188.htm) served with Amarone (no kidding), though to be perfectly honest, I was not persuaded this was a good use of even a mediocre bottle of Amarone. |

Cheese, not your girlyman velvetta or brie but parmesan and "blue" cheese
the heavier the better, Robust chocolate shows wll too. There is an area in the DOC are on the hill above Negrar (cere Negrar)where Quintarelli, Dal Forno, Ca Del Monte(a former client), Masi, Allegrini and other own vineyards or buy grapes, for some reason the fermentation process used to make amarone, recioto and ripasso wines, gives the wine a cinnamon like nose and distinctive fruity flavor, different then wines sourced from other areas. For these a dessert with cinnamon marries well. -- Joe "Beppe" Rosenberg "Bill Davy" > wrote in message ... > > >"ThomasPrinzie" > wrote in message > > . edu... > > >> Hello all, > > >> > > >> any suggestions for a dish that would bring out the > >> best in a 1998 Amarone della valpo? > > Beef in Amarone (http://www.spiked-online.com/Printable/00000002D188.htm) > served with Amarone (no kidding), though to be perfectly honest, I was not > persuaded this was a good use of even a mediocre bottle of Amarone. > > |

Thomas,
"ThomasPrinzie" > wrote in message du... > Hello all, > > any suggestions for a dish that would bring out the > best in a 1998 Amarone della valpo? > > Thanks, > Thomas in St Louis One of my favorites is osso bucco. I have had an amarone with the traditional veal osso bucco which is a wonderful pairing, the flavor of the veal shanks (and marrow) work well with the richness of the wine. I have also had an amarone with a lamb shank based version but it didn't quite work as well. Now that I think of it, I just might have to do an osso bucco for our Christmas dinner hmmmm... Thanks, Tom AZ (after a few month absence) |

I think that the best food for Amarone belongs to the typical Verona's cuisine, so we can exclude chocolate and other sweet amenities. I think that the natural dish is "bollito misto con salsa pearą" that is made with beef baked (not roasted) with a salse made of bread. You can also try the typical salame, called "soppressa" with "polenta" (mais soup) if you want to try the cheese, it must belong to the Verona's country, so I suggest "Monte Veronese" aged 18 months. Finally, you can try Amarone "stand alone" ![]() My 2 cents -- Giorgio68 |

It would be a "provocation", but how to explain to pair for istance a "pecorino di Pienza" to an American? The final message, IMHO, is: the best way to pair Amarone is visit Verona and his "osterie".
