While Marion’s Amarone and Valpolicella Superiore may steal the spotlight, this bottling is the quiet favourite among insiders — the first opened, the most shared, and arguably the most charming. Speaking with owner Stefano at Vinitaly this year only reaffirmed our shared love for this wine: a pure, unpretentious expression of Valpolicella’s soul.

If you're seeking a light-bodied yet characterful European red that delivers finesse without the price tag of Bourgogne Rouge, Cru Beaujolais or Jura Poulsard, this is your answer.
