In Italy it is often said that Amarone is a Meditation Wine. Rather than pairing it with food, the best way to appreciate a great Amarone is probably at the end of a meal, slowly sipping it while talking to friends, listening to some good music, or just meditating.

That is why it is not a surprise how Jazz and Amarone is a perfect pairing. Amarone in Jazz Festival is a way to taste the greatest wine of Valpolicella while listening to great Jazz music.
