La Giaretta, Volpare Valpolicella, 2023

From the brilliant husband-and-wife duo—Francesco and Francesca—this Valpolicella is a great example of La Giaretta’s dedication to quality at every level, from their entry wines to their Amarone. You can really taste the care in the glass—it’s effortlessly elegant and full of charm. Silky in texture with vibrant red fruit, a touch of dark chocolate, and just the right amount of depth, it’s the kind of wine that immediately takes you to the hills of Veneto.

Incredibly food-friendly, this is one to keep on hand. It’s a natural with mushroom pasta, grilled steak, or even a midweek roast chicken. Approachable, polished, and seriously drinkable.
