Valpolicella DOC
Gently sloping hills blanketed in vineyards and olive and cherry trees are home to Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes destined for original and singular rich red wines that can be paired with almost anything.
Valpolicella received DOC status in 1968, when the growing area was mapped out and guidelines were set, assuring the highest of quality. Balerin’s Valpolicella DOC is grown in the sought-after area of Valpolicella Classico in strictly organically cultivated vineyards.
