After our exciting exploration of Brazilian wines last week, today's focus is on the iconic Valpolicella, Amarone, and Soave wines from northeastern Italy. Dive into the differences between Valpolicella, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Amarone della Valpolicella, all crafted from the Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grape varieties. Uncover the history and discovery of Recioto and Amarone, both born from the Appassimento method, and appreciate the elegance of Soave- a white wine made from the Garganega grape.   This episode is sponsored by Wickham Wines, A small business themselves focusing on top quality wines.
