Full description
But how we love winery tastings. Especially when they are family businesses, where it is a family member who welcomes you with open arms.
This is the case at Cantina Luciano Arduini, in San Pietro in Cariano: here, where great-grandfather Battista planted the first vines, today our visit to the vineyard and tour of the cellar takes place. And, of course, not forgetting a tasting of 5 glasses of Valpolicella, to discover the territory by tasting it.
An experience lasting a total of 1½ hours, during which we feel at home.
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at Cantina Luciano Arduini in San Pietro in Cariano (VR). We will be welcomed by a member of the family, who will guide us to discover the wines of Valpolicella!
The experience will begin with a visit to the vineyard: we will stop at the top of the vineyard, with the best view to listen to the details of the work in the vineyard. The guide will not fail to tell us the history of the family and the farm, the 'fruits' of which we will taste later.
We will then proceed with a visit to the wine cellar: we will explore the barrel cellar, the bottling and labelling room and the fermentation room; when the weather permits, we will also visit the raisining room. In the meantime, the guide will tell us in detail about the production process from start to finish. This first part of the experience, which includes a visit to the vineyard and a tour of the cellar, will last about 30 minutes.
And now it is time for the tasting: we will go to the dedicated room to taste five glasses of Valpolicella wines accompanied by soppressa veneta, cheeses and dry bakery products such as taralli or breadsticks. There will also be a tasting of homemade extra virgin olive oil!
The wines to be tasted, accurately described by the guide, will be:
- Valpolicella DOC Classico "Fontana del Fongo"
- Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore "Costelonghe
- Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore
- Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico
- Recioto della Valpolicella DOC G Classico
The experience will last a total of 1.5 hours.
