La Giaretta Valpolicella DOC Volpare 2022 Veneto, Italy
La Giaretta Valpolicella DOC Volpare 2022 is a fresh, refined red wine from Valpolicella, made from Rondinella, Corvinone, Corvina, and Molinara. Volpare is La Giaretta's wine that is closest to its origin: bright ruby red, smooth, fruity, and made for broad versatility at the table. With its cherry fruit, fresh taste, and 13% alcohol, this is an accessible Valpolicella for those seeking an Italian red that doesn't have to be heavy.
Vineyards and region
Volpare comes from Valpolicella, the historic wine region north of Verona in Veneto.
• Location / Origin: La Giaretta is located in Valgatara, in the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella. This places the winery in the heart of the area where the classic Valpolicella grapes originate.
• Region: Valpolicella is strongly linked to local grapes such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. These grapes precisely define the fresh, fruity, and smoothly spicy style of the region.
• Estate: The family behind La Giaretta still tends its own vineyards. This ensures that the Volpare style remains close to its origin and to the character of Valpolicella.
