Valpolicella Classico Superiore, DOC
Villa Crine
The history of Villa Crine goes back to the 1700s 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. The hilly area with its many micro climates is especially suited for making an excellent Valpolicella of which both Battista and his wife Mara are exceptionally proud.
This is a classic Valpolicella. It is a medium-bodied, dry red whose fruit is balanced by soft tannins. Try it with roast pork, game or pasta
