Vivaldi - Amarone Della Valpolicella - 2020
Domain story
Vivaldi stands for a contemporary, young, open and creative Verona, which recognises a fundamental part of its identity in wine. The name evokes one of Italy's greatest artists, and a universal icon: Antonio Vivaldi. The flair and creativity of the composer of ‘The 4 Seasons’ inspire a new approach to wine that is nourished by continuous stimuli and challenge-and-response.
Appellation: Valpolicella
Vivaldi’s Valpolicella covers an area that spans from the borders of Val d’Adige to Val d’Illasi, crossing Valpolicella Classica. It is one of Italy’s most prestigious red wine districts.
The area is linked to the tradition of Appassimento, an ancient technique that underpins the production of Ripasso and Amarone wines.
The native grape is Corvina, which is at the heart of all DOC and DOCG production in the area.
