Anche se si tratta di una nuova realtà vitivinicola, c’è da dire che la famiglia di Paolo è da molti anni legata a questa passione, infatti è giunta ormai alla terza generazione coinvolta. L’azienda nasce nel cuore della Valpolicella Classica e precisamente a Fumane mentre i vigneti di proprietà  si estendono sulle fasce collinari dei comuni storici di  Marano e  Negrar. Le differenti e peculiari  caratteristiche orografiche ed altimetriche consentono di generare uve di qualità con elementi distintivi e specifici, che Paolo unisce sapientemente in varie proporzioni per dare vita ai suoi vini.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-paolo-cottini","title":"Amarone della Valpolicella Classico - Paolo Cottini","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePaolo Cottini's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is the crowning achievement of a coherent artisan range that respects its territory - the same winery behind the fresh Valpolicella Classico and bestselling Ripasso, which with this Amarone proves that it can express the full potential of the Classico area even in Valpolicella's quintessential dried-grape wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePaolo Cottini produces his Amarone Classico with the same artisanal approach that distinguishes the entire range: no compromise on grape quality, respect for the traditional timing of drying and ageing, and rejection of modern styles that favour extreme concentration or oaky notes from new barriques. The aim is an Amarone that tells the story of the Veronese area with honesty and depth, without stylistic embellishments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes selected from the estate vineyards in the Classico area are dried in a traditional drying room for over 90 days, losing more than 35% of their weight.

On the palate, it is structured and warm, with tannins already beautifully polished by ageing, a harmonious glyceric sweetness that balances the alcoholic power, an acidic freshness that ensures verticality and longevity, and a long, persistent finish with notes of concentrated black fruit, spices and cocoa. An authentic Amarone Classico, from a producer who has known the area for generations and has no need to impress with special effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58268773155190,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_79_1_10.jpg?v=1789641926"},{"product_id":"valpolicella-classico-ripasso-paolo-cottini","title":"Valpolicella Classico - Ripasso - Paolo Cottini","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePaolo Cottini's Valpolicella Classico Ripasso DOC is produced using the traditional ripasso method in the Classico area of Valpolicella - the wine is refermented on the still-fresh pomace of Cottini's Amarone Classico, gaining greater body, structure, and complexity.

Refermentation on the pomace of Cottini's Amarone Classico gives the wine additional structure, tannins, residual sugars, and an aromatic concentration that brings it closer to a great appassimento wine without reaching the same level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe aging is this Ripasso's most distinctive signature - a carefully designed two-stage sequence: 18 months in barriques to build initial structure and integrate the oak's spicy and vanilla notes, followed by 12 months in 30-hectoliter large oak casks, which round out and soften the influence of the smaller oak in a more terroir-driven and less pronounced harmony - and finally 6 months in bottle before release. In total, almost three years from the 2022 harvest to the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it expresses spirit-soaked cherry, dried plum, sweet spices, and a hint of chocolate.

The Classico is the everyday table wine, the kind Verona’s farmers would pour into a carafe every evening - but in the hands of a serious producer, it becomes something more: a characterful, fresh and easy-drinking red that respects its territory without trying to impress with artificial structure or concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe winemaking is simple and respectful: fermentation with brief skin maceration to extract colour and aromas without excessive tannins, no oak, and a short ageing period in stainless steel to preserve all the freshness of the grapes. The colour is bright, luminous ruby red. On the nose, it is fragrant and inviting: fresh cherry, raspberry, blackberry, red flowers and a hint of the herbal character typical of high-quality young Corvina. On the palate, it is light, fresh and almost thirst-quenching - with barely perceptible tannins, lively acidity and a clean, short finish of fresh red fruit. A wine to open straight away, without overthinking it, and serve slightly chilled at 14-16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Valpolicella Classico that proves wine doesn’t always have to be powerful to be good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58311552893302,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_79_1_13.jpg?v=1789642334"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/collections\/COTTINI.jpg?v=1789720785","url":"https:\/\/emporiodivino.com\/en\/collections\/paolo-cottini.oembed","provider":"Emporio diVino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
