Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply curious about Italian wines, this experience provides a delightful introduction to the rich wine heritage of the Veneto region.
Your tasting journey includes four carefully selected wines, each reflecting the distinct characteristics of the Verona area:
- Prosecco, a sparkling wine known for its lively bubbles and refreshing flavors of citrus and green apple, perfect for kicking off the tasting.
- Soave, a crisp white wine with a balanced profile of minerality and floral notes, made from Garganega grapes grown in the nearby Soave hills.
- 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.
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.

The tasting will also include giardiniera or sott’aceto, pickled vegetables that add a refreshing tang to the tasting experience.
