Villalta represents the best winemaking traditions of the Verona area. Wines are made from grapes grown in the best vineyards located in the hilly areas of Soave, Bardolino and Quinto di Valpantena. The Amarone Villalta is made from grapes grown in the "I Comunali“ vineyards, in Fumane in Valpolicella.

VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO
DOC SUPERIORE
In ancient times, on the hills of the Valpolicella Classica, it was the custom for the town to gather poor people once a week and dispense them food, especially during the period of winter when the supplies were running low.
These small pieces of land where these gatherings took place were later known as “I Comunali”, lands where today grapes of this prestigious Amarone, are cultivated with great care.
Deep ruby red colour with an intense, full and rich bouquet.
Rounded on the palate with classic black cherry flavours and a long, complex finish.
Ideal with roasts, game and cheese, but also a great wine to sip slowly in company.
Amarone Villalta is a blend of the Veneto’s traditional grape varieties like Corvina and Rondinella.
The individual bunches are laid one by one onto tiered mats in airy lofts, where they are dried for four months until the sugars, tannins and aromas have become concentrated.
The wine spends around two years in traditional oak barrels before release.
Deep red, intense bouquet, rich, full, well-rounded palate, with classic black cherry flavours.
Very long, complex finish.
An excellent partner to red meats and mature cheese.
Villalta Valpolicella Ripasso is made using the unique “Ripasso” technique, where the wine is passed over the semi-dried grapes used to produce Amarone, thereby inducing a secondary fermentation. This wine is ripe and concentrated wonderfully smooth and elegant with aromas of dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
An excellent partner to past red meats, game, stew and full flavoured mature cheeses.
