Valpolicella | Classic



The reputation of the Valpolicella being offered in very different qualities is due to industrial wine production, which will not be discussed here. In the recent past, special Valpolicella wines - especially from smaller wineries - have been the talk of the town. Special attention was given to Valpolicella in the version of Ripasso, where wine drinkers also accepted noticeable oxidation notes favorably.

Advanced wine drinkers quickly realized that many wineries opted for the more elaborate addition of fresh Amarone marc, without making the wine significantly more expensive. This noble version of Ripasso is basically about increasing the complexity of a wine with artisanal means and skills. In other words, Valpolicella is brought to a level between a normal wine and Amarone, which is made from 100% dried grapes, using dried grapes or must from Amarone production, without even approaching the price level of Amarone. - Gerardo [TS06/23]

"Valpolicella, located between the first hills of the Alps and Lake Garda, is a blessed wine country. However, the great success of Amarone, made from dried grapes, has recently pushed the original wine of the area more and more into the background. This is a shame, because Valpolicella, a juicy red wine with gentle tannins, is what once made the area famous. Valpolicella is made from the grape varieties Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella and a few other local varieties. A Valpolicella without any other appellation is characterized by its fresh fruit and often comes on the market in the spring after the harvest." - Falstaff
