Other red wines produced in the Valpolicella region are the three varieties of Valpolicella along with Recioto (a sweet red wine).

Named after the region, Valpolicella wines are made from three different grape varieties — Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Molinara Valpolicella giving it a light and fragrant aroma. You shall find them as:

i | Valpolicella Classico comes from the original production zone of Valpolicella.

ii | Valpolicella Superiore is aged for at least one year and has an alcohol content of 12%

iii | Valpolicella Ripasso is also a superior variety. This red wine is made with left over partially dried grape skins from the fermentation of Amarone.

Valpolicella is a basic, light and fragrant table wine and makes a great alternative to Pinot Noir. Perfect for light meals or enjoy it with poultry, salmon or seafood. It can be enjoyed by itself, too.

3 | Recioto

Recioto is a full-bodied red wine with rich flavours. Made from grapes that are harvested when they are fully ripe. They retain their natural sweetness at the end of fermentation.

Recioto is a splendid accompaniment for cheeses, chocolate cakes, short crust pastries and cookies as well as strawberries and tropical fruits.
