| The
history of Ville Crine goes back to the 1700s when the ancestral house
was built, nestled in the foothills of the Italian alps. For
generations the family passed on, from father to son the art of making
and tasting wine, an art that has been refined by today's owner
Battista Venturini. The hilly area with its many micro climates is
especially suited for making an excellent Valpolicella of which both
Battista and his wife Mara are exceptionally proud. Tasting Notes: A full-bodied wine with a hint of cherries and raisins backed up by soft tannins and a lingering finish. |
