Valpolicella wines include Classico, Ripasso and Recioto della Valpolicella.
- Classico Valpolicella: A younger, pale red wine with a lighter body and fruity scents.
- Valpolicella Ripasso: Produced by fermenting Amarone grape skins with Classico wine. A richer wine is produced as a result of the additional fermentation. This also raises the alcohol concentration, tannins and complexity.
- Recioto della Valpolicella: A sweet wine made with the Appassimento process, which stops fermentation to preserve the natural sugars.
