About this wine

Vinification

Made using the traditional Ripasso method. After the first fermentation, the must is transferred to a vat containing sugar-rich pomace remaining from Amarone production, then fermented again for 10–12 days.

Tasting profile

Balanced on the palate, with a velvety texture.

Serving and pairing

Pairs well with red-meat dishes and soft cheeses.

Label / history

The name “Vallis Dei” means “Valley of the Gods” in Greek, a name associated with the Valpantena valley in Veneto.
