Another strong wine such as Merlot

Actually, Merlot is not a "strong" wine. Amerone gets its unique rich taste from the fact that grapes are allowed to sit outside on fresh straw for days to dry slightly. This accumulates their sugars before going to mash for wine.

To substitute Amarone, say in Osso Bucco, you can use an inexpensive Marsalla cooking wine, then add one canned stewed prune for every 1/2 cup of wine you use. When finished, the prune will have disolved, but you will have added rich, sweet, dried fruit layer of flavor that Amarone is known for. Enjoy!
