Valpolicella Classico, Fumane

Daniele Piccinin works without added sulfites in the cellar, a practice consistent with his VinNatur membership protocol (which sets a maximum total SO2 threshold). The Valpolicella Classico and Amarone are made from organic grapes with wild yeast fermentation and no additions. The wines require careful storage and should be consumed within five years of vintage.

Tip: Piccinin's wines are sulfite-sensitive travellers; if buying to take home, ensure cold-chain storage. Best found fresh and local at Veronese natural wine bars.
