Amarone Wine

Forgive me Mr. DaVinci for borrowing your vitruvian man but Amarone is an Italian wine. The other label is also a DaVinci sketch. Amarone is a potent red wine, about 15% alcohol. The grapes are harvested then placed on straw mats to dry out, or "raisin", concentrating the sugar content. To me it tastes like a dry but sweet wine.
