The Farina Valpolicella 2025 is a classic red blend from the Valpolicella zone in Italy's Veneto, made in the light, cherry-driven style the appellation is best known for. It is fresh and approachable, true to the region's traditional character and easy to drink on its own, chilled or at room temperature.

Red cherry and redcurrant dominate the nose, with a faint almond bitterness and light spice adding interest, plus a touch of violet on the lift. The palate is bright and juicy, carrying that same cherry fruit through cleanly, with a faint herbal note underneath.

Tannins are soft, the body light, and the finish fresh with a touch of that characteristic bitter-almond close that Valpolicella is well known for.

It is an easy match for simple antipasti, grilled vegetables, or a light risotto — food that doesn't need a heavyweight red. It also suits a plate of cold cuts or a simple margherita pizza.

Drink it over the next one to two years while it retains its lively, youthful fruit and easy charm.
