Reciotto di Valpolicella Amarone is the DOC (or Italtian legal) name of the wine. The intense flavor comes from the fact that it is made from the outer grapes which are dried or "raisened" before being crushed. My understanding is that the Amarone name probably comes from Vaio Amaron, the name of the vineyard originally owned by Serego Alighieri, a member of Dante Alighieri's family. I've never had this wine but it sounds like a wonderful Italian red. I doubt that it comes in white.
