Look no further than this for a sublime example of classic Northern Italian red.
From the brilliant husband and wife team - wonderfully (and sometimes confusingly) named Francesco and Francesca - this Valpolicella is proof of La Giaretta's commitment to quality across their entire range from their base level Valpolicella, all the way to their Amarone. You can tell just how much care has been put into this and simply put, it is sublime. A glass of this and you are transported straight to Veneto.
This wine is as versatile as it is delicious. It will be perfect alongside a mushroom pasta, a juicy steak, or even a mid-week roast chicken!

Vintage report
We're still getting to grips with 2023 in Veneto, but early signs suggest a vintage that kept producers on their toes. The growing season brought its share of challenges, with variable weather patterns that demanded careful vineyard management and precise timing at harvest. What emerges is a year where the best producers really earned their stripes, navigating conditions that rewarded experience and penalised complacency.
The wines we've tasted so far show promise rather than immediate fireworks. Soave displays lovely mineral backbone with citrus precision, while Valpolicella shows bright red fruit that's more vivacious than brooding. The Amarone producers we work with seem quietly confident about their drying grapes, though it's far too early for definitive judgments there. These aren't wines crying out for immediate attention, but they're building nicely in bottle and should reward patience over the next few years.
