There are about 350 registered producers, and some are smaller wineries producing one Amarone. They have the winery name on the label. The large and medium-sized wineries can produce several different Amarone, some with the name of the winery/vineyard on the label others with a different name. The cantinas typically buy all their grapes from the small wine growers, and they produce and sell the wine, often with different labels. The cooperative do like the cantina, but they can also keep the vineyards separate from each other in the production, and have wine with the name of the vineyard on the label. They may even agree to be responsible for the production of wine for a winery. There are also sales companies that buy wine, and comes in a bottle and puts a label on and sells.
