The name of Cantina Valpantena comes from the Greek language, where Valpanta means "Valley of the Gods." It has since come to mean "Valley of all wines." In the heart of this valley, northeast of Verona, operates Cantina Valpantena Verona, one of the area's leading wine producers. For this red Bardolino, they use Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown on very old vines. These thrive in the warm climate, but the bunches also receive plenty of coolness from the wind that blows across the mountaintops and through the vineyards.
What an intense red wine, and that's already apparent upon pouring. A beautiful ruby-red color with a thick structure reveals itself. It flows from the glass, offering hints of ripe black fruit, blueberries, and a touch of violet. On the palate, the palate is pampered by pure softness, complemented by numerous fruity nuances of cherries, berries, and blackberries. The finish is pure softness at its finest, and the accompanying fruitiness rounds it all off.
