This wine stands out for its balance of fruit clarity and gentle structure. Corvina and Corvinone supply cherry-bright energy, Rondinella adds softness, and Molinara contributes a subtle savoury lift. Together they create a red that feels light on its feet yet confidently flavourful. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking an approachable Italian red that remains true to tradition but tastes wonderfully modern and easygoing.
Tasting Notes
A clear, medium ruby hue. The nose opens with fresh cherry, red plum and a touch of bramble, followed by hints of sweet spice and dried herbs. The palate remains lively and graceful, showing juicy red berries, soft pepper notes and a delicate herbal thread. Tannins are supple, acidity is refreshing, and the finish is clean with lingering red-fruit brightness.
Food Pairing
This Valpolicella thrives with dishes that highlight savoury depth and Mediterranean simplicity. It pairs beautifully with pasta al pomodoro, grilled sausages, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto or antipasti boards layered with cured meats and soft cheeses. Its bright acidity and smooth texture help lift tomato-based dishes while adding warmth and charm to roasted or lightly spiced plates.
Description

It offers expressive cherry and plum notes without heaviness, making it a perfect everyday red for those who enjoy Italian elegance in a lighter, fresher style. Balanced, smooth and quietly expressive, it brings a welcoming personality that suits all kinds of moments.
