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.
1 Puree: Use a food processor to puree the fresh basil leaves with olive oil. 2  Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil per 1 cup of basil. 3  Freeze: Freeze the pureed basil in an ice cube tray, then store in a large resealable plastic bag or freezer-safe container.. Freeze the leaves whole. You can use frozen basil exactly as you would with fresh leaves. The leaves will shrink as they freeze, so cup for cup, plan to use slightly less than if you were cooking with fresh basil.
