Ripasso Una Volta Sola
Valpolicella Ripasso D.O.C.
The Peaks & Valleys project, created by Marilisa Allegrini and Andrea Lonardi, celebrates Verona and its three key wine regions: Valpolicella, Soave, and Lugana. Its goal is to showcase both the wines and the territories that shape them, from the rugged slopes of Valpolicella to the volcanic hills of Soave and the moraine landscapes near Lake Garda. These contrasting peaks and valleys form the identity of the wines: limestone vineyards in Valpolicella yield light, savory reds; the volcanic and calcareous soils of Soave produce mineral, age-worthy whites; and the glacial moraine soils of Lugana give structured, complex whites. Peaks & Valleys selects vineyards through strict criteria: soil type, climate, exposure, altitude, native varieties, training systems, and vine heritage. Each wine authentically reflects its origin while meeting modern standards of fine-wine excellence.
