Valpolicella Denomination: A Journey into the Heart of Italian Wines

The Valpolicella Denomination is an authentic excellence of the Italian wine scene. Located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, Valpolicella is famous for its high-quality wines and rich winemaking tradition. In this article we will explore the history, the grape varieties, the production processes and the distinctive characteristics that make the Valpolicella Denomination so appreciated internationally.

Introduction to the Valpolicella Denomination

The Valpolicella Denomination is a winegrowing area in the Veneto region, known for the production of high quality wines. This denomination includes several areas, including Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena, Valpolicella Est, Valpolicella Valdadige and the Recioto della Valpolicella area. Each area contributes its own unique characteristics to the production of Valpolicella wines.

History and territory of Valpolicella

The history of viticulture in Valpolicella dates back to Roman times, but it is over the centuries that this region has acquired a reputation for winemaking excellence. The Valpolicella area is characterized by gentle hills, a Mediterranean climate and a soil rich in calcareous marl, gravel and clay. These geographical and climatic conditions offer an ideal environment for the cultivation of native vines.

Main grape varieties of Valpolicella

The Valpolicella denomination is distinguished by the use of native vines which give the wines a unique character. The main vines grown in the region are Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara. Corvina Veronese is the dominant grape variety, known for its contribution to the structure, color and complex aromas of Valpolicella wines.

Production process of Valpolicella wines

The production of Valpolicella wines follows a rigorous process that begins with the grape harvest, usually between September and October. After harvesting, the grapes are selected and placed in boxes to preserve their integrity. Subsequently, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain the must, which is fermented at a controlled temperature.

A distinctive aspect in the production of Valpolicella wines is the use of drying. A part of the grapes, in particular for the production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella , is dried in ventilated rooms for several months. During drying, the grapes lose part of their water, concentrating their sugars and aromas.

Types of Valpolicella wines

The Valpolicella Denomination includes different types of wines, each with its own unique characteristics. Among the best known we find:

  • Valpolicella Classico: a young and fruity red wine, ideal for everyday consumption.
  • Valpolicella Superiore: a more structured and complex wine, obtained from selected grapes and a longer aging period.
  • Amarone della Valpolicella : a dry, intense and full-bodied red wine, obtained from dried grapes.
  • Recioto della Valpolicella : a sweet and enveloping red wine, also produced from dried grapes.

Organoleptic characteristics of Valpolicella wines

Valpolicella wines are characterized by a vast range of aromas and flavours. The Valpolicella Classicos offer notes of fresh fruit, such as cherries and strawberries, with a pleasant freshness. More structured wines, such as Amarone della Valpolicella , have complex aromas of dried fruit, spices, tobacco and chocolate. Recioto della Valpolicella , on the other hand, is distinguished by its sweet aromas of ripe fruit, raisins and honey.
