From: Valpolicella, Veneto, Itally

Varietal: Valpolicella Blend

The Farina family has roots in agriculture and winemaking tracing back to the beginning of the 16th century. Remo Farina was able to combine the most modern concepts in winemaking technology with ancient, time-tested methods to produce rich, elegant wines. Today the winery, which has opened its doors to the new generation, continues to produce lovely fresh white wines and exquisite red wines that have great body and balance with a wonderful combination of sweet fruit and traditional dried fruit blended with earthy undertones and a dry complex pleasant finish. These Valpolicella and Amarone wines from Farina are among the best priced quality wines from this region.

Tasting Notes: This wine presents itself in a red-garnet color with orange edges, and with an ethereal and spicy fragrance. In the mouth, it is warm, robust, full-bodied, velvety, pleasantly bitter and harmonious.

Pairing: An excellent wine for game dishes and seasoned cheeses.
