Montresor Valpolicella Classico DOC 2024 from the hills of Valpolicella in Veneto is a bright, ruby‑red Italian classic that balances juicy fruit with savoury elegance. This Montresor Valpolicella Classico 2024 blends Corvina and Rondinella from hillside vineyards to give a vibrant, medium‑bodied red that’s all about drinkability.

On the nose you’ll find violets, fresh cherry and sour cherry, plum and a little dark berry, with gentle spice and dried herb notes in the background. The palate is dry and lively with good acidity, soft tannins and plenty of juicy red fruit, finishing with a savoury, lightly earthy edge that keeps it feeling classic and food‑friendly rather than jammy. It’s the kind of Valpolicella you can happily pour on a school night.

This style is spot‑on with salumi, pizza, tomato‑based pasta, grilled sausages and simple roast chicken, as well as lighter red‑meat dishes and semi‑hard cheeses. It also works beautifully with mushroom risotto and rich vegetarian bakes where its freshness cuts through the richness and keeps you going back for another glass.
