コルテ・アルキでのヴァルポリチェッラワインテイスティングツアー

On Valentine’s Day we had an authentic and deeply engaging experience at Corte Archi, in the heart of the beautiful Valpolicella. The tasting began with an introductory explanation about the estate and their cultivation philosophy, with a look at the vineyards visible from the opening of the cellar. The owner told us with passion the work behind each bottle, the attention to the land and the care with which the grapes are followed until winemaking. Then we sat inside the cellar, around a suggestive table made from an oak barrel: an intimate, warm and full of atmosphere. We tasted five wines, each explained with competence and delicacy. I really appreciated the fact that the owner stopped to taste with us, sharing not only technical explanations but also emotions and vision. This made the experience even more authentic and memorable. The quality of the wines won us over to the point of deciding to buy some bottles to take with us, to relive the memory of this wonderful experience at home. It was not a simple tasting, but a real journey into the culture of the territory. As a travel planner I am always looking for experiences that can truly tell a territory. After this visit I can say that a tasting at Corte Archi is exactly the kind of experience I love to offer to those who want to discover Valpolicella in an authentic and conscious way.
