Tenute Galtarossa

Valpolicella producer of Amarone and Classico Superiore from traditional grapes.

Tenute Galtarossa produces wines from Valpolicella, the storied red wine region of northeastern Italy's Veneto. The winery works with the traditional grape varieties of the zone: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara—a blend that defines the region's character. Its Amarone della Valpolicella, made from the same trio of grapes, represents the appassimento method for which Valpolicella is renowned: grapes dried to concentrate their sugars and tannins before fermentation, yielding a wine of depth and structure. The Corte Colombara Valpolicella Classico Superiore, also built from Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella, offers a more immediate expression of the terroir. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast.
