Valpolicella
Valpolicella is the most famous red wine region in northeastern Italy, in the Veneto wine region. It's not hard to see why, given the ease of drinking the regular red wine Valpolicella along with the prestige of its strong and intensely flavored counterpart Amarone. The main grape variety used for the production of local red wines is Corvina. This variety is still the choice of higher quality grapes for the wines Valrolicella, Valolicella Ripasso, Amarone della Valpolicella, as well as for the sweet wines Recioto della Valpolicella. On warmer, well-drained slopes, Corvina produces full-bodied wines, which explains the huge difference in quality between regular Valpolicella wines and wines from the traditional production area of Valpolicella Classico. The valley also produces white wines, both dry and sweet, from the Soave production area.
Veneto is the home of the first Italian winemaking school, marking it the beginning point of wine tourism in Italy. This is one of the largest wine regions that allows to use more than 80 varieties of grapes. The most popular red varieties are Corvina and Rodinella - the first one gives wine a rich flavor and silky tannins, as well as charming aromas of cherries and herbs, while the second one provides wine with a beautiful ruby color with even more saturated cherry flavor. The leaders amongst white wines is Garganega that gives wine almond and honey flavors, and the popular, light and bubbly Glera.
