Quella Venezia del vino si chiama Valpolicella — e produce alcuni dei rossi più complessi, longevi e affascinanti d'Italia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLa Valpolicella è un territorio di colline a nord-ovest di Verona, incuneato tra il Lago di Garda a ovest e i Monti Lessini a nord, diviso in una zona Classica storica — quella delle valli di Negrar, Marano, Fumane, Sant'Ambrogio e San Pietro in Cariano — e una zona DOC più estesa che abbraccia i comuni orientali fino alla Val d'Illasi e alla Val Tramigna. È qui che cresce la Corvina Veronese — il vitigno autoctono più importante del Veneto, quello che in abbinamento con Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, Oseleta e altre varietà quasi dimenticate produce la gamma più ricca e variegata di vini rossi di qualsiasi altra denominazione italiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIl re assoluto è l'Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG — uno dei grandi vini rossi del mondo, prodotto da uve appassite per 90-120 giorni in fruttaio tradizionale, fermentate a secco e affinato per anni in legno prima della commercializzazione. Non è un vino dolce — è il contrario: \"amaro\" è il suo nome, in contrapposizione alla dolcezza del Recioto che lo ha preceduto di secoli. Potente, concentrato, longevo, con una complessità aromatica che sfida qualsiasi categorizzazione e una capacità di evoluzione in bottiglia che può superare i trent'anni nelle migliori annate. Ma accanto all'Amarone da grande occasione e da collezione, la Valpolicella offre una scala completa di espressioni: il Valpolicella Classico fresco e fragrante da bere giovane, il Ripasso strutturato che nasce dalla rifermentazione sulle vinacce dell'Amarone — il cosiddetto \"piccolo Amarone\" — il Valpolicella Superiore affinato in legno, fino al rarissimo Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG, il vino dolce rosso più antico di Verona, quello che i Romani bevevano duemila anni fa sulle stesse colline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIl Veneto dei vini rossi non è però solo Valpolicella.

È infine la Valpolicella dei nuovi arrivati — vignaioli visionari come Hannes Pichler di Contrada Palui che coltivano a 500 metri di quota su suoli vulcanici e producono Amarone di una freschezza e di una trasparenza che la denominazione non aveva mai conosciuto prima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEmporio diVino propone la selezione più profonda e coerente di vini rossi veneti disponibile online — non i nomi più commerciali e distribuiti, ma i produttori artigianali che raccontano la Valpolicella con onestà, originalità e rispetto per un territorio che merita molto più riconoscimento di quanto il mercato di massa gli abbia finora riservato.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"amarone-della-valpolicella-cavedini","title":"Amarone della Valpolicella - Cavedini","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]\"\u003eCavedini's Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG comes from the same family and the same production philosophy as the Recioto della Valpolicella - together, the two wines tell the complete story of Valpolicella through its two oldest souls: sweet and dry, Recioto and Amarone, two faces of the same thousand-year-old tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCavedini is a family estate deeply rooted in the Valpolicella region, with the depth of roots that can be built only over generations.

The vineyards on Marano's limestone and clay soils produce Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes with a natural concentration and aromatic balance that only the Classico terroir can offer.
