Valpolicella D.O.C. Famous since Roman times, the Valpolicella hills have always been a symbolic place for the cultivation of vines. The calcareous-clay soil and microclimate mitigated by the breeze from Lake Garda contribute to the exceptional development of the native grape varieties, Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The product of an ancient tradition deeply rooted in the territory, Valpolicella D.O.C. Le Clivie is a smooth, elegant and very drinkable wine. A great classic of Veronese tradition.
