Let's face it, Amarone is so famous that it doesn't even need it. But given how many wines are now DOCG, it probably would have been embarassing if it had never received this classification. I'm guessing that the producers finally figured out which zones will produce DOCG and which will not. Any news on that? Glad also that Recioto della Valpolicella received DOCG status. It's a wonderful wine that is so underappreciated. I doubt this will help sales, but if one more person wants to try it because it's now DOCG- great! Nice that Amarone finally has DOCG status.
