Valpolicella is a red wine produced in the foothills of the Alps, just west of Verona, in an area sandwiched between the mountains and Lake Garda.  It is created from corvina, molinara and rondinella grapes in the Veneto grapes in the Veneto region of Italy. 

As a general characteristic the wines tend to have lively to powerful bouquets, be full on the palate with good fruit, velvety, and have a pleasing aftertaste. They also tend to be less tannic than the wines from Tuscany or Piemonte. 

Valpolicella can be a fruity, medium-weight red wine. It is typically mid-bodied and fruit-driven – a wine which can be enjoyed equally well at room temperature or slightly chilled on a summer's evening.  It can have a light cherry flavor, with licorice hints and slightly bitter finish. It is normally drunk relatively young, within 3 years. It goes well with light dishes – pork, lamb,  aubergine in a tomato sauce.
