VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE, DOC, 2016
Azienda Agricola Villa Crine



The history of Ville Crine goes back to 1700 when the ancestral house was built, nestled in the foothills of the Italian alps. For generations the family passed on, from father to son the art of making and tasting wine, an art that has been refined by today's owner Battista Venturini working in the heart of Valpolicalla Classico. The hilly area with its many micro climates is especially suited for making an excellent Valpolicella of which Battista and his wife Mara are exceptionally proud, specially since it took many years of sacrifice to reach the quality of the wine produced today. We hope you like it as much as we do.
