VALPOLICELLA DOC Classico 2024
Wine Description
Valpolicella Classico is where the Nicolis range begins, a fresh red from the historic Classica hills around San Pietro in Cariano made from Corvina and its traditional partners. There is no drying and no heavy oak here, just the appellation's bright, digestible style: delicate cherry fruit, a violet lift, light spice, soft tannins and a clean, dry finish the estate itself describes as harmonious.
It is bottled to be drunk young and often, the kind of red Veronese osterie pour by the glass all evening. Serve it slightly cool at 14 to 16 °C with salumi and cheeses, pasta e fagioli, bigoli in salsa, or Venetian sarde in saor; it will even sit beside baccalà mantecato without complaint. No decanting and no ceremony required; open it, pour it, and let the table do the rest of the work.
Winery
Nicolis is a family estate in San Pietro in Cariano, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, founded in 1951 by Angelo Nicolis and his wife Natalia. Today the third generation, Angelo and Sofia, works alongside their father Giuseppe across 49 hectares of estate vineyards farmed with attention to soil health and low impact methods. The house style aims for balance between freshness and structure, running from the everyday Valpolicella Classico through the Seccal ripasso and the Testal rosso to Amarone and the single vineyard Riserva Ambrosan.
