The Many Faces of Valpolicella
This session will be presented by Jane A. Nickles, CWE, CSE
Valpolicella DOC—the leading red wine of Italy’s Veneto Region—is easy to drink, easy to find, and easy to love.

Join Jane Nickles, SWE’s Director of Education and Certification, as we dive into the many faces of Valpolicella and reveal the secrets behind Valpolicella Ripasso DOC, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, and Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG—in addition to the ever-consistent (and delicious) Valpolicella DOC.
