What red wine is similar to Amarone?

Ripasso della Valpolicella is closely associated with Amarone, but is a more affordable alternative with similar full-bodied attributes and a rich taste profile of dried fruits, dark cherries, and round, spicy notes. Similar to Amarone it comes from Veneto region of Italy and goes through highly specific winemaking process including refermentation of wine on Amarone grape skins that aides to the wine’s complexity. Ripasso does not possess the opulence of Amarone, but it is a more approachable option while not losing on flavor and complexity.
