Red wine | Veneto, Valpolicella Classico, Italy
Let me introduce you to a bottle of sunshine from the rolling hills of Veneto, Italy: the Sartori Regolo Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore. This isn't just any wine; it's a carefully crafted experience that embodies the rich traditions and innovative spirit of the Sartori family.
Sartori di Verona, a name synonymous with quality and passion, has been producing exceptional wines for over a century.

The blend of indigenous grapes – Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone – dances together harmoniously, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your palate. The Ripasso method, where the Valpolicella wine is refermented on the still-warm Amarone grape skins, adds a layer of complexity and depth, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and powerful.
Imagine the first sip: a burst of ripe cherries and plums, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and vanilla. The wine is dry, with a smooth texture that caresses the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. It's a wine that tells a story, a journey through the vineyards of Valpolicella with every sip.
This wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
