Nestled amidst the vineyards, Villa Fura blends time-honored techniques with a passion for expressing the unique terroir of the region.
What makes this Valpolicella so special? It starts with the grapes. A classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, these varietals come together to create a symphony of flavors. Corvina brings the structure and cherry notes, Rondinella contributes floral aromas and a refreshing acidity, and Molinara adds a touch of earthy spice. The result is a wine that is both vibrant and complex, a true reflection of its origins.
On the nose, expect a burst of fresh red fruits – think juicy cherries, ripe cranberries, and a hint of raspberry. As you take a sip, the wine dances on your palate with a light and elegant body. The tannins are soft and supple, making it incredibly easy to drink. You'll notice a subtle almond note on the finish, adding a touch of sophistication to the experience. The alcohol is around 12.5%, making it a delightful wine to have during warmer days.
But what truly sets Villa Fura apart is their commitment to quality. The grapes are hand-harvested with care, ensuring that only the finest fruit makes it into the wine. The winemaking process is meticulous, with careful attention paid to every detail, from fermentation to aging. The end result is a wine that is both delicious and authentic, a true expression of the Veneto region.
Now, let's talk about food pairings. This Valpolicella is incredibly versatile, making it the perfect accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity and fruity flavors make it a natural match for Italian cuisine. Pair it with a classic margherita pizza, a creamy risotto, or a plate of pasta with fresh tomato sauce. It also works beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, adding a touch of elegance to your meal. Serve slightly chilled at around 16°C to bring out the best of its flavors.
