Cheese and Wine Gift Valpolicella

A wine gift set featuring two beautiful red wines from Valpolicella, Italy. A delicious Reypenaer cheese is also included. The wines and cheese (a small cheese weighing around 325 grams) are presented in a luxurious wooden box with a sliding lid.

Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Monti Garbi

This wine hails from the Valpolicella region in northeastern Italy. It captivates the senses with its enticing flavors of dark cherries, plums, and blackberries, beautifully complemented by subtle notes of herbs and dried spices. This wine showcases the unique terroir of Valpolicella, with its rolling hills, vineyard-covered landscapes, and rich winemaking tradition dating back centuries.

Tenuta Sant'Antonio Valpolicella Superiore La Bandina

This wine also hails from the renowned Valpolicella region in northeastern Italy. It seduces the palate with a harmonious blend of red and black fruit flavors, such as cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, accompanied by hints of spice and a touch of earth. This wine beautifully reflects the unique characteristics of its origins, with its vineyard-covered hills and the rich winemaking heritage that characterizes Valpolicella.

Why this combination?

The expressive flavours of dark cherries, plums and blackberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spices, complement the profile of the matured cheese.

These wines exhibit moderate tannins that add structure and depth to the palate. The tannins in the Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Monti Garbi and Tenuta Sant'Antonio Valpolicella Superiore La Bandina are well-integrated, creating a balanced and velvety mouthfeel that harmonizes with the firm texture of the cheese. The tannins in the wines interact with the proteins in the cheese, creating a pleasant contrast and enhancing the overall flavor experience.

The richness of Reypenaer cheese, with its long aging and complex flavor profile, provides a perfect counterpoint to the fruity and spicy characteristics of Valpolicella wines. The wine's vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese, creating a harmonious balance on the palate. The cheese, in turn, adds a creamy and slightly salty note that enhances the flavors of the wines and brings out their nuances.

The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Monti Garbi, Tenuta Sant'Antonio Valpolicella Superiore La Bandina, and cheese together create a symphony of flavors and textures. This combination is a testament to the expertise of the Italian winemakers and the Dutch cheesemakers and showcases the diversity and complexity of both regions. This combination is a sensory experience that will delight the taste buds.
