It is characterized by a set of valleys that start from Verona and extend up to Valpantena, in a hilly landscape cultivated with pergola vineyards. The grape varieties mainly grown in this region are Corvina , Corvinone and Rondinella , with which Amarone , Ripasso and Valpolicella are produced. Casalforte wines are produced in the Eastern Valpolicella, between the valleys of Mezzane, Marcellise and Tregnago / Illasi. They are refined and elegant interpretations of the typical grapes of Valpolicella. Discover the best Casalforte selection on Vino.com.
