Tasting Dinner with Valpolicella Wines at Castrum Wine Relais in Castelrotto

Your experience takes place in the Sala Castello of the Castrum Wine Bar & Bistro, set within the medieval village of Castelrotto. You will be welcomed by Giampiero Borghetti, owner and winemaker of the family winery, or by the Castrum Wine Relais staff.

The dinner is a journey through the flavors of Valpolicella, beginning with a gourmet platter. This is followed by a main course of your choice: slow-cooked pork ribs with an Amarone reduction, sliced beef with roasted potatoes, or a Scottona beef burger with rustic potatoes. The meal concludes with a traditional Sbrisolona cake.

Each course is paired with a wine from the Castrum Platinum Collection, a selection available exclusively at the relais.

You will taste Il Davide, a Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC;  Achille, an Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG; and Clizia, a Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG.

Giampiero or the staff will explain the characteristics of each wine and the history of the Borghetti family. The collection itself is inspired by the sculptor Innocenzo Fraccaroli, who was born in the very same building in 1805.

Please note that this dinner experience is held entirely at the Castrum Wine Bar & Bistro and does not include a visit to the winery.
