Description
The 'Valpolicella' three-bottle case from Cantina Nepos Villae is ideal for discovering Valpolicella in three signature interpretations: Campo di Villa, Strada Campiona and Contrà del Tono.
Campo di Villa takes its name from the cru of the same name, the winery's flagship vineyard, located among the marl soils of the ancient district of Villa. A harmonious and elegant red, fresh and complex on the palate, with notes of red and black fruits, cocoa and chestnut honey. It is aged for 48 months in French oak barrels and is distinguished by its long-lasting almond finish.
Strada Campiona is a Valpolicella Ripasso dedicated to the ancient Roman road that crosses the valleys of Negrar and Valpantena. An intense ruby red, with aromas of ripe cherry, black pepper and nutmeg, it stands out for its round structure and fresh, almond finish.
Contrà del Tono celebrates a historic district of Valpolicella. Intense ruby in colour, it offers aromas of cherry, wild berries, fine herbs and spices. On the palate it is elegant, fresh and savoury, with authentic and soft tannins.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico "Campo di villa" Nepos Villae
Description
"The Campo di Villa red wine from Nepos Villae takes its name from the Cru of the same name, the master vineyard from which the winery's entire journey began and continues. Situated among the marls of the ancient Villa district, this ancient vineyard dominates the picturesque Negrar Valley and is an authentic treasure trove of values, affection and history. Campo di Villa symbolises the fusion of the historic ideals of the Risorgimento of its founder, Giovan Battista Quintarelli, and the young and innovative passion for wine of his great-grandson, Francesco. A red wine of harmonious and elegant fruit, with a complex character that balances the fruity and balsamic sides, with a fresh palate despite its age. The grapes, grown according to the ancient Veronese system of double pergolas, are harvested by hand in the second half of September, carefully placed in crates and left to dry until mid-January. Once they have reached the right sugar concentration, they are selected and gently pressed. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats with skin contact for about 40 days, with periodic manual pumping over to stir the marc into the must. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 48 months in large French Allier and Troncais oak barrels. Once bottled, Campo di Villa continues to refine in the bottle for at least 4-6 months before release. The colour is an intense garnet red with pronounced reflections, expressing all the aromatic complexity and elegance inherited from the limestone and marl soil. The nose is decisive and vertical, with notes of crunchy red fruits blending harmoniously with hints of black berries and cocoa. Sweet balsamic notes recall soft tobacco and chestnut honey. Fresh and savoury on the palate, the tannins are round and enveloping at the outset, beautifully blended with spices, cloves and cinnamon. The finish is decidedly almond with a long persistence. Amarone Campo di Villa is an excellent accompaniment to spicy and fatty cured meats, long cooked meats such as braised beef and game. Here is a wine that finds its best companion in long matured cheeses. To end the meal in a sublime way, try it with a touch of dark chocolate".Read More

Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore "Strada campiona" Nepos Villae
Description
"Nepos Villae's Valpolicella Ripasso 'Strada Campiona' is a special tribute to the ancient Strada Campiona, the Roman road that for centuries crossed the Negrar and Valpantena valleys, linking and interweaving unique territories. Traced by the men of the past, this furrow has been preserved over time as a symbol of our journey through the centuries and into the future, among vines, wine and the authentic essence of Valpolicella. This Valpolicella Ripasso is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, indigenous varieties permitted by law, grown in the Negrar Valley, in the heart of classic Valpolicella, on the white marly soil typical of the valley. The rocks are rugged, with fossiliferous concretions of limestone and marine sandstone. The grapes are carefully hand-picked, placed in special containers and immediately taken to the cellar, where part of the grapes are left to dry for 30-40 days and the rest are immediately crushed. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats, with light cryomaceration and manual pressing. After vinification in red, the wine is ripasso on the marc of the following year's Amarone, i.e. the skins remain in contact with the wine for about 30 days. After the ripasso, the wine is aged in large French oak barrels of Allier and Troncais for about 18 months. The wine is then further refined in the bottle for 3-5 months before being released. The intense ruby red colour with violet reflections promises a rich aroma of red fruits, especially ripe cherries and berries. The wilting sensations resulting from the ripasso technique combine with a fuller and firmer tannin, round and pleasant on the palate. The spiciness comes through with a distinct note of black pepper and a hint of warm nutmeg. The lingering finish offers a fresh sensation of cherries and dried almonds, enriched by an intriguing hint of mint.Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Strada Campiona is an exceptionally versatile wine, capable of adapting elegantly to many culinary preparations. It is the perfect wine to whet the palate of young connoisseurs and is ideal for lingering over a meal, accompanying hors d'oeuvres and small savoury dishes such as cured meats and medium-flavoured cheeses. It is excellent with salami in all its delicious Italian varieties. "Read More

Valpolicella Classico Superiore "Contrà del tono" Nepos Villae
Description
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore "La Contrà del Tono" from the Nepos Villae winery is a red wine with fruity aromas, reminiscent of red and juicy berries, with balsamic undertones, a wine that is open and fresh but never loses its elegance. It is a tribute to a contrada that now lives only in memory, a place that one could pass through. This contrada is an indelible seal in the history of Valpolicella Classico, a village of stone and humanity that cannot be forgotten. With the deepest respect for the men and women who inhabited these lands, we have given voice to this little jewel of the valley and paid it a sincere tribute. Valpolicella Classico Superiore Contrà del Tono is produced in the Negrar Valley, the coldest valley in Valpolicella, where even in summer, at dusk, the breeze that descends from the mountains brings a pleasant coolness; a freshness that we find in the ripening of the grapes, in the aromas and in the quality of the Nepos Villae wines. The Contrà del tono wine is a classic blend of Corvina gentile, Corvina grossa, Rondinella and Molinara, a blend that has been used historically in Valpolicella. The grapes are carefully hand-picked and gently pressed in a horizontal press at low temperature. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats, followed by light cryomaceration and manual pressing to enhance the extraction of aromatic and colouring substances. After vinification in red, the wine is aged in steel until March-April, then it is bottled for about 4 months before being released. This Valpolicella Classico Superiore presents itself in the glass with intense ruby reflections and a fine texture. On the nose it offers a verticality of aromas with clear sensations of ripe cherries and berries, enriched with spices of black pepper and cloves, combined with a pleasant Mediterranean note of fine herbs, rosemary and thyme. On the palate, it is characterised by its elegant sapidity, enhanced by authentic and soft tannins, good body and decisive structural freshness. The persistence is remarkable and ends with a delicate almond finish. Contrà del Tono is an ideal accompaniment to spicy cured meats of the Veneto tradition and medium-aged cheeses, preferably cow's milk. It also goes well with white meat first courses and red sauces, as well as legume soups.Read More
