De Valier
De Valier sits in Veneto, the northeastern Italian region that has shaped some of Europe's most distinctive white wines. The winery works with the classic grapes of the territory: Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave for its Soave, Pinot Grigio for its crisp varietal, and the dark fruit varieties that go into Valpolicella Ripasso. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator. The Soave and Valpolicella Ripasso both carry prestige ratings of 86, placing them among the winery's strongest expressions. Pinot Grigio rounds out the portfolio at 84. Veneto's cool continental climate and mineral-rich soils favor the precision and acidity these wines demand—whether in the white wines' aromatic clarity or in the structured, dried-grape intensity of Ripasso.
