Alternatively Durello, a native grape that makes a unique sparkling experience. Soave, a crisp white wine with a balanced profile of minerality and floral notes, made from Garganega grapes grown in the nearby Soave hills. Alternatively Lugana from South of Lake Garda. Valpolicella Classico, a red wine known for its light body and fruity profile, featuring red cherry and soft tannins that make it highly drinkable and approachable. Valpolicella Ripasso, a bolder, more complex version of Valpolicella, made using the ripasso method, which involves passing the wine over Amarone skins for added depth, flavor, and richness. Alternatively a bold and full bodied Superiore. Throughout the tasting, a professional sommelier will guide you through the wines, offering brief yet insightful explanations about each one. In this relaxed setting, the sommelier will provide a maximum of 30 minutes of explanations, giving you the perfect blend of information without overwhelming the experience.
