Filippo Bartolotta, Sommelier and Wine Educator at “The Wine Experience” based in Florence takes us through a delicious experience of 4 Valpolicella Wines coming from the Valpolicella Alps region near Verona in Italy.
Filippo is an expert in the knowledge of wine making, particularly in the terroir of Valpolicella, an extraordinary mountainous region of Italy combining multiple climate factors cultivating in between the mountains and a nearby Lake.
The authenticity also stems from a unique soil profile due to the limestone embedded in the underground caused by an ancient volcanic eruption- adding minerals to the profile of the wines, giving them a one-of-a-kind taste and smell to the varieties of wines. The grapes grown in Valpolicella, Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara and Rondinella are world renowned for their outstanding flavor and yield that brings much attention to the wineries of the region.
Filippo recommends tasting these 4 wines today:
