Valpolicella Classico is a red wine produced in the historic region of Valpolicella, located in the Veneto area of northern Italy. This wine is made primarily from three grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. Known for its fruity flavors, it often features notes of cherry, plum, and spices, making it a popular choice for various occasions.
The classification "Classico" refers to the original wine-producing area within Valpolicella, which is characterized by its hilly terrain and unique microclimates. Valpolicella Classico is typically lighter and fresher than its more robust counterparts, such as Amarone, and is best enjoyed young.
