Description
The three-bottle set "I Classici Valpolicella" from the Nepos Villae winery is a quintessential expression of classic Valpolicella.
The "Campo di Villa" Amarone is produced from grapes dried until mid-January and aged for 48 months in oak barrels, and comes from the cru of the same name in the Negrar Valley. It is deep garnet red in colour and reveals notes of red and black fruits, cocoa, tobacco and chestnut honey. It is fresh and savoury on the palate, with rounded tannins and hints of cinnamon and cloves, and finishes with a lingering almond-like aftertaste. It is ideal with braised meats, game, mature cheeses and dark chocolate.
The Valpolicella Ripasso "Strada Campiona", made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, is re-fermented on Amarone pomace and aged for 18 months in casks. An intense ruby red in colour, it offers aromas of ripe cherry and wild berries, with spicy notes of black pepper and nutmeg. It is round, fresh and persistent on the palate, and is perfect with cured meats, cheeses and savoury dishes.
The Recioto della Valpolicella "La Tesa" is aged in casks and in the bottle. It is an intense purple-red colour and offers aromas of cherries preserved in alcohol and wild berries. Sweet, full-bodied and velvety with spicy notes, it is ideal with desserts and chocolate.

The Recioto della Valpolicella “La Tesa” from the Nepos Villae winery is a velvety, ruby-red nectar, sweet, with red fruit and spicy notes, balanced by intriguing briny hints. The name "Recioto" comes from the word "recia" in Veronese dialect, meaning ear, referring to the uppermost lobes of the bunch, which contain the berries with the most concentrated juice; it is the luxury wine of Valpolicella.
Produced in the Negrar Valley, the heart of Valpolicella Classica, this Recioto is made from a blend of Corvina, Corvina Grossa, Rondinella and Molinara, grape varieties native to the Veneto region. The grapes are hand-harvested in the second half of September and placed in crates, then left to dry until mid-January. Crushing, around mid-January, is preceded by a selection of the bunches, choosing only the best. Gentle crushing of the bunches precedes fermentation, which takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel with skin contact for around 40 days.
After red winemaking, the wine is aged in large oak casks for around 18-24 months, followed by about 1 year of rest in bottle. The colour of this Recioto is a very deep purple red, with an intense aroma of cherries in spirit, enriched by subtle, well-integrated notes of berries and raspberry. The palate opens full and velvety, with a saline note that supports the wine’s drinkability. The finish is dominated by aromatic black pepper and a sweet note of nutmeg. Black berries and dried plum stand out with noble elegance and marked persistence. Recioto lends itself to a range of pairings, including classic Christmas cakes, dry and crumbly pastries, chocolate and berry mousse, and cheesecake.
