The Valpolicella DOC Classico from Speri winery embodies the winemaking tradition of the Veneto region with its rich history and distinctive character, expressed in the glass. This wine, strictly produced in the heart of the classic area of Valpolicella, among the hills of Pedemonte, is the result of a careful selection of native grapes such as Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara.
This type of Valpolicella is distinguished by its lively ruby red color, which heralds a bouquet of aromas ranging from fresh notes of cherry and small red berries to delicate hints of light spices. On the palate, Speri’s Valpolicella Classico is light and velvety, with a flawless balance between acidity and soft tannins, making it extremely drinkable and pleasantly persistent.
The winemaking follows traditional methods: the grapes are gently pressed and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks to fully preserve the varietal characteristics of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine is aged in steel for several months before being bottled.
Speri’s Valpolicella DOC Classico is an excellent choice to accompany traditional Italian dishes, such as pasta with ragù, mushroom risottos, or roasted white meats. It is also a wine that can be enjoyed in an aperitif setting, thanks to its freshness and vibrancy.
In conclusion, Speri’s Valpolicella DOC Classico is a living testament to the excellence of a territory that continues to express itself through its wines, combining tradition and quality. It must be tasted to fully understand the essence of this renowned Italian wine region.

The story
The Speri family has been present in Valpolicella for generations: the company's history dates back to the first half of the 19th century and developed over multiple generations into an established producer in Valpolicella Classica. Over the years the owners have expanded the vineyards in the most suitable areas and were among the first local producers to vinify an Amarone. Since the early 2000s the estate has moved toward organic farming, obtaining certification for 100% of production in 2015; more recently it has undertaken projects focused on sustainability and biodiversity.
Production philosophy
Respect for the land, stylistic continuity and elegance are at the heart of its production approach: Speri prioritizes native grape varieties grown in its own vineyards, winemaking linked to individual crus, and agricultural practices focused on sustainability and the protection of biodiversity.
