What sets apart traditional vs. modern Amarone winemaking techniques?

In the traditional Amarone production, natural methods are used, including the drying of grapes on straw mats or wooden racks, as well as long aging in huge Slavonian oak casks. This method maintains its originality and lets it mellow with time. In contrast, modern approaches may use special drying chambers to accelerate the process and smaller oak barrels during the aging process, producing wines that are more fruit-forward and more approachable when young. Both ways have their own advantages enabling the wine lovers to enjoy different styles.
