Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury

AdamiVeneto€€€€€€€Sparkling Tank

One of the most admired single-vineyard Rive expressions in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. The Giardino parcel sits on the steep Colbertaldo hillside; steep gradient, poor soils and attentive pruning give the wine its notable concentration and precision.

AllegriniVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant

AllegriniVeneto€€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

The single-vineyard Fieramonte takes Allegrini's Amarone to the highest level: a single hill block in the Classico zone with extreme concentration, the Oseleta component adding signature pepper warmth to the cedar-espresso complex.

Allegrini La Poja

4.8

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Elegant

AllegriniVeneto€€€€€€€€€Still Red

Bele Casel Col Fondo Asolo Prosecco

4.3

Dry · Light-bodied · Racy acidity · Funky · Savoury

Bele CaselVeneto€€€€€Sparkling Ancestral

Col Fondo (with sediment) is the traditional method of making Prosecco before the Charmat process became dominant. Bele Casel's version undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, leaving the lees (col fondo), resulting in a cloudy, autolytic character that is the antithesis of the commercial tank-method style.

Bele Casel Costalunga Asolo Prosecco Superiore Brut

4.2

Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Refreshing

Bele CaselVeneto€€€€€€€Sparkling Tank

4.8

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant

BertaniVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Bertani's Amarone is the reference for the traditional, extremely long-aged style: minimum eight years in large Slavonian oak produces a garrigue-herb and leather-inflected wine of remarkable freshness and longevity, lighter in colour than modern Amarone but strikingly complex.

Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Villa Novare

4.9

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant

BertaniVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso

4.3

Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Easygoing

BertaniVeneto€€€€€€€Still Red

4.0

Dry · Light-bodied · Medium acidity · Easygoing · Refreshing

Bisol 1542Veneto€€€€€Sparkling Tank

4.4

Dry · Light-bodied · Racy acidity · Refreshing · Savoury

Bisol 1542Veneto€€€€€€€Sparkling Tank

The Rive di Campea sits at higher elevation than most Valdobbiadene Rive sites. The altitude emphasises acidity and mineral character, producing one of the zone's most vertically inclined expressions.

Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury

BortolomiolVeneto€€€€€€€Sparkling Tank

Filanda (silk mill) is the top non-Cartizze label from Bortolomiol, employing a longer extended Charmat contact for added yeast-derived complexity. A brut style with more depth than the entry-level range.

Dry · Light-bodied · Racy acidity · Savoury · Elegant

BortolomiolVeneto€€€€€€€Sparkling Tank

Brut Nature (zero dosage, under 3 g/l residual sugar) is the driest legal Prosecco style. Ius Naturae showcases the natural grape sugar without added liqueur, emphasising Glera's inherent acidity and mineral character.

4.5

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Bold

BrigaldaraVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

4.7

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Contemplative

BrigaldaraVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Il Vegro is Brigaldara's prestige single-vineyard Amarone from the Il Vegro parcel; higher Oseleta concentration and extended ageing in a mix of small and large casks produce a richer, spicier expression than the estate Classico, with excellent concentration and structure.

4.4

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Contemplative

Ca' La BiondaVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Ca' La Bionda's Amarone reflects the volcanic and calcareous soils of the Marano valley top: a mineral, iron-inflected style with high acidity and a savoury character quite distinct from estates lower in the valley.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Rustic

Ca' La BiondaVeneto€€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Castel Caina is Ca' La Bionda's premium single-vineyard selection from the highest Marano valley plots at the foot of the ancient Caina hill; the volcanic soils produce even greater mineral depth and acidity than the estate Classico, with outstanding ageing potential.

Ca' La Bionda Valpolicella Classico Superiore

4.2

Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Easygoing · Refreshing

Ca' La BiondaVeneto€€€€€€€Still Red

Ca' La Bionda's Classico Superiore reflects the upper Marano valley's mineral character in a lighter-bodied, tart cherry register; crisp, food-friendly and genuinely typical of the traditional Valpolicella style.

Cantina Valpolicella NegrarVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Cantina Valpolicella NegrarVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Domaso is the cooperative's flagship single-vineyard Amarone from the 14-hectare Maternigo hill parcel, showing appreciably greater concentration and mineral precision than the estate-level wine; the earthy, tobacco-cedar style reflects the Maternigo terroir's calcareous character.
