Paolo Cottini Valpolicella Classico 2025

Paolo Cottini’s Valpolicella Classico is a fresh, approachable expression of the historic Valpolicella area, made for enjoying while young. Traditional local grapes and a light touch in the cellar let its bright fruit and regional character take centre stage.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red in the glass, it opens with delicate iris and violet aromas, followed by notes of pomegranate, blackcurrant and hazelnut. The palate is firm and well structured, with youthful, integrated tannins, lively freshness and a subtle savoury, mineral edge. Made to be enjoyed young, it is best appreciated in the near term for its vibrant fruit and freshness rather than held for extended ageing.

Production
The Cottini family’s vineyards lie in Valpolicella Classica, with sites in the Negrar Valley and Valgatara at differing elevations and aspects. Vines are trained using the traditional pergola system, and the grapes are hand-harvested. The wine is made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, traditionally fermented in stainless steel and rested in bottle for three months before release.

Food & Serving
Enjoy it slightly chilled at 14–16°C. Its fresh, fruit-led style pairs well with pasta, pizza, Italian sausages and soft cheeses, and it is also easy to enjoy on its own. Decanting is not necessary; serve shortly after opening.

Producer
Paolo and Sara Cottini established their own wine label in 2010, continuing a family winemaking tradition now in its fourth generation. Based in Castelrotto, in the heart of Valpolicella, the family draws on vineyards across the historic area and combines regional traditions with a personal approach to winemaking.
