With the Alps as its upper frontier, Valpolicella spans about 95 square miles across western Veneto. To the south is Verona, the dreamy city and home to star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. To the north and east sit the Lessini Mountains, strewn with splendid pink stone villas and ancient churches. The west is the playground of Lake Garda. Throughout the area, vineyards comprise a patchwork of Veronese pergolas framed in old stone walls.

From soft and approachable wines labeled with the broad Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) to the rich and concentrated Amarone della Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), there’s a style to suit every palate across a wide price range.
