Remo Farina 2000 Montecorna Red (Valpolicella)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
With toasted aromas as well as whiffs of bacon, leather, cola and hickory, this offers a mighty fine nose. The palate is equally impressive: It’s rich and meaty, with expressive cherry fruit and lots of spice. The chocolaty, firmly tannic finish completes this rich wine. Editors’ Choice.

Cesari 2000 Recioto della Valpolicella Red (Valpolicella)
- $30
By nature, recioto (sweet) wines sometimes carry some sharp vinegar aromas, but after that it’s all about sweetness. This fine example fits that model to a T. The nose is grapy and full of bitter chocolate. The palate, meanwhile, is rich and pruney, with chocolate and blackberry jam notes. The finish is long and layered.

- Online Exclusive
- $15
Allegrini’s base Valpolicella blend stands out in a crowd thanks to its richer, darker and extracted overall appearance. It shows medium length and density with fresh fruit flavors and a touch of savory barbecue spice on the close.

Carlo Boscaini 1996 Amarone Marano Corvina (Valpolicella)
- $35
Chocolate and prunes abound in this dark, rich version of Amarone. Straightforward and easy to drink, despite a trace of heat from the 15% alcohol. A solid introduction to the genre.

Ca' Rugate 2009 Rio Albo Red (Valpolicella)

Rio Albo is an easy, fresh Valpolicella that recalls those nostalgic days of chequered tablecloths at the neighborhood Italian eatery. It offers loads of fresh fruit flavors and nice acidity on the close that will cut through pasta or potato gnocchi.

Corte Sant' Alda 2011 Ca' Fiui Red (Valpolicella)

Made using organically farmed fruit, this is a simple and fruity red that would pair with chicken curry or pork roast. The flavors are reminiscent of wild berry, cola and chopped herb.
