Description

Cesari Valpolicella Classico is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of the Veneto region. Crafted by Gerardo Cesari S.p.A., a winery renowned for its dedication to quality and tradition since 1936, this wine offers an authentic expression of the Valpolicella terroir. The wine is made from the typical blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes.

This Valpolicella Classico displays a vibrant ruby-red color, hinting at the youthful energy within. On the nose, it bursts with aromas of fresh cherries, raspberries, and a subtle hint of spice. The palate is light-bodied and refreshing, with a pleasant acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The flavors echo the aromas, with juicy red fruit dominating and a touch of almond on the finish. The wine’s name, Valpolicella, derives from the Latin ‘vallis poli cellae’ meaning ‘valley of many cellars’.

This wine embodies the essence of Veneto, a region celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and passion for winemaking. The Cesari family's commitment to quality ensures that each bottle of Valpolicella Classico captures the unique character of the terroir. It has matured for some months in stainless steel.

The Valpolicella is a truly versatile red wine for food pairing and it excels when paired with Italian cuisine. It's the perfect accompaniment to dishes like pasta with tomato sauce, grilled vegetables, or a simple margherita pizza. Its light body and bright acidity also make it a great match for charcuterie and cheeses. For a delightful pairing, try it with a plate of Prosciutto di Parma and Grana Padano cheese. The wine's fruity notes will complement the salty ham and rich cheese beautifully. Otherwise, it is ideally served with the famous Veronese Risotto all'Amarone, or with grilled fish like salmon. It is best served lightly chilled at around 16°C to enhance its refreshing qualities. Open the bottle about 10 minutes before serving to allow the aromas to fully develop. Valpolicella Classico is best enjoyed in its youth, within 2-3 years of the vintage.

So, treat yourself to a bottle of Cesari Valpolicella Classico. It's a journey to the heart of Veneto, a celebration of Italian winemaking, and a guarantee of pure drinking pleasure.
