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.

Valpolicella wines lend themselves to multiple culinary combinations. The Valpolicella Classicos go well with pasta dishes, risottos, white meats and fresh cheeses.
