The Veneto Primer continues with a focus on Valpolicella, which is the name of a sub-region and its wine. What’s the difference between basic Valpolicella and Superiore? What is Ripasso? Get the answers from Marilisa Allegrini.
Just returned from Italy and want to weep at the incredible, cheap wines we found there. Thanks for the great explanation. I usually drink the "lower" sections of the pyramid but occasionally I get a bottle of Amarone. My wife said my Christmas present this year can be a case of Amarone.
