While the style of Amarone has existed in the region for centuries, it was very rarely made as a deliberate wine style. Mostly it was produced in warm vintages when batches of wines destined for sweet recioto were unintentionally allowed to ferment completely dry.
Basil grows between 30â130 cm (12â51 in) tall, with opposite, light green, silky leaves 3â11 cm (1.2â4.3 in) long and 1â6 cm (0.39â2.36 in) broad. The flowers are small, white in color and arranged in a terminal spike.
The olive oil keeps the basil fresh for longer, but once you see the olive oil or the basil leaves changing to a browner color, the flavor is affected and the pesto is not good to eat. The flavor will be off. Dry packaged varieties will also turn a brown color when aged too long, instead of the enticing green color.
