Classico Superiore Valpolicella D.O.C.
55% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 5% Molinara, 5% Negrara / Pelara, 5% Local autochthonous varieties.
Berries. Floral. Velvety.
​
Generations of winemakers come from the Negrar region, the terroir of this Valpolicella. You can taste the craftsmanship in the structure of this wine — it has a lovely elegance and velvety character.
​
The grapes were all harvested by hand. They were destemmed, pressed and left in the traditional maceration technique for 10 days in stainless steel vats. After the fermentation, the wine was softly pressed to separate it from the grape skins and refined in oak barrels for about 12 months.
​
Expect a "black forest" sensibility — in the red ruby color and the aroma of black cherry, blueberry and blackberry, as well as floral scents.
​
This wine pairs wonderfully with cheeses and dishes containing earthy-flavored vegetables such as mushrooms, asparagus and artichokes.

Classico Ripasso della Valpolicella D.O.C.G.
55% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 5% Molinara, 5% Negrara / Pelara, 5% other local varieties.
Fruity. Full-bodied. Complex.
​
Ripasso is a unique wine from the northeast of Italy. It is known for its fruity complexity and this vintage does not disappoint. This deep ruby-red wine has a warm, full-bodied character with pleasant fragrances of berries, cherries, and sweet spices, which blend well with floral notes. You can find the faintest hints of musk and licorice, which add to this wine's nuanced complexity.
A wine like this one has been carefully vinified. The grape harvest is done manually and a second fermentation ensures a richness of flavor before refining in oak barrels for 24-36 months.

Classico Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G.
55% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 5% Molinara, 10% Local varieties.
Velvety. Spicy. Fruity. Full-bodied.
​
This is an exceptional example of a manually harvested wine. The grapes are carefully selected to create a premium flavor experience that pairs beautifully with flavorsome foods — red meat, game, sauces, cheese, Asian cuisine, dark chocolate, as well as rice and risottos.
​
With round, velvety notes, this wine keeps unfolding as you taste, a mark of a special drop. Masterfully blended with flavors of plum, cherry and morello cherry, it will delight your palate with a variety of tones including dried fruit and tea leaves.
​
After harvesting at the end of September (depending on the vintage), the grapes are left to rest in the loft for 3 or 4 months. They're carefully spaced so that they dry in just the right way for pressing. The new wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum period of 36 months.

Recommended serving temperature: 8 °C.
