Vantorosso, Valpolicella Classico D.O.C. 2023

Vantorosso is a small family project in Fumane, the heart of the historical Classica zone. This wine is made to be drunk young: no oak aging, no fuss. Pure fruit from one of the better vintages of recent years.

What you smell
Sour cherries, red roses and a hint of redcurrant. Fresh and direct, without frills.

What you taste
Light-bodied with lively acidity that gives the wine drive. Hardly any tannin, so no dryness. The finish is short but clear, with a light bitter almond note typical of Corvina.

How it's made
Blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, hand-harvested at the end of September. Fully vinified in steel tanks to preserve the fruit. Short bottle aging before release.

Serve
At 14-16°C, or experiment with lightly chilled (12°C) as a thirst quencher in warmer weather. No decanter needed. A standard red wine glass will suffice.

Pairs well with

  • Antipasti with mortadella and coppa: the freshness cuts through the fat, the fruit embraces the seasoning.
  • Pasta with ragù: the lightness of the wine allows the meat sauce to shine without competing.
  • Grilled sea bass with tomato: lightly chilled, the sour cherry works surprisingly well alongside the umami of roasted tomato.

Vantorosso is opgericht door coureur Vanni Pasquali, samen met wijnmaker Franco Allegrini van Allegrini Estates. In de vallei van Fumane herstelde Pasquali het verwaarloosde land van zijn vader tot een modern wijndomein voor Valpolicella Classico.

Valpolicella is de streek van het drogen. Dezelfde druiven leveren er een lichte, sappige rode wijn of een geconcentreerde Amarone, afhankelijk van hoe lang de trossen op rekken hebben gelegen.
