Valpolicella Superiore Classico

This wine accompanies imposing white and red meat dishes, especially traditional Veronese dishes; this cuisine, with its local homestyle recipes, enhances poultry, above all chicken and turkey, rabbit, guinea fowl, and duck. It also pairs extremely well with cheese, such as the extraordinary cheeses of Verona’s Lessini mountains, and the dry-cured meats aged for protracted periods by the area’s farmers.

Villa Della Torre’s Valpolicella Classico Superiore is particularly intense and aromatic. Aging in wood gives the wine a complex and deep profile. In the glass, it is medium ruby red. The bouquet expresses aromas of raspberry, small berries, hints of vanilla, and spices. On the palate, it has substantial structure, subtle, well-integrated tannins, and a fresh, persistent finish. Harmonious and balanced, it is pleasantly smooth and fresh, making it very versatile to pair with food. While enjoyable in its youthful version, bottle aging will confer further depth and character.

Villa Della Torre is a winery located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica zone (in Fumane), owned by the Allegrini family since 2008. It is built around a magnificent Renaissance-era villa (16th century), designed by renowned architects Giulio Romano and Michele Sanmicheli in the style of an ancient Roman “domus”. The villa has been restored and transformed into a Wine & Art Relais — a luxury boutique hotel (9 rooms and suites), a wine tasting centre, and a venue for events. Surrounded by vineyards, where vines (primarily Corvinone) were replanted in 2014, it produces fresh and terroir-driven wines such as Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Amarone, and others.
