Valpolicella is a very special territory nestled between the Lessini mountains, lake Garda and the city of Verona. Here, viticulture and winemaking have a very long history. Back during ancient Roman times, Acinaticum or Reticum were some of the most respected and sought after wines by the emperors and today many modern expressions of these ancient beloved wines are available.

Today Valpolicella is a mix of deep rooted traditions but also great technological innovations, and a variety of styles of wines are available to be savored and enjoyed, from the most basic but lovely Valpolicella Classico/Superiores, to Valpolicella Ripassos, to the boldest, most concentrated Amarones.

Recommended wines to taste along: Valpolicella Classico, Valpolicella Ripasso & Amarone Recommended producers:
