Valpolicella Wine Tasting with Local Food at Costa Arènte in Grezzana

Your visit to Costa Arènte begins with a welcome from a qualified sommelier or winemaker from the team. They will guide you through the estate, where artisanal methods like hand-harvesting meet modern cellar technology. You will see the barrique cellar, where an innovative digital system monitors the temperature and humidity inside the barrels where the red wines mature.

The tour concludes with a seated tasting in the Sala Caminetto or on the veranda. Larger groups are hosted in the Sala Fruttaia. Here you will taste four wines that express the character of the Valpantena hills. The tasting includes:

- Molinara Spumante Rosé Brut, a fresh sparkling wine from the native Molinara grape.
- Valpolicella Valpantena Superiore DOC, a red blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella.
- Ripasso Valpolicella Valpantena Superiore DOC, which gains its structure from the local Ripasso method.
- Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena DOCG, the estate's richest red, made from dried Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes.

The wines are served with a platter of local products: prosciutto crudo, salame, sopressa, and Monte Veronese cheese at different ages, served with mostarde, bread, and Costa Arènte’s own olive oil.
