Amarone Opera Prima "Centenario", the event entirely dedicated to the flagship product of the Valpolicella denomination, which replaces the traditional Anteprima Amarone, will be scheduled for Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February 2025 at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia, in Verona.
In 2025 the Consorzio per la Tutela dei Vini Valpolicella will turn 100, becoming the second oldest consortium in Italy, after Chianti Classico. We intend to celebrate this important milestone on the occasion of the usual February event (hence the name "Centenario") which will be conceived for the occasion in a particularly grandiose and celebratory way.
Now in its twenty-first edition, the event will begin on Saturday 1 February with the opening of the tasting stands to the public and industry professionals from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm with around 70 labels for tasting. On Sunday 2 February the event will take place from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Enthusiasts will be able to delight in accompanying the Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, the star of the event, with gastronomic tastings inspired by local tradition.
