Le Preare Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (500ml)

The brand Le Preare was created by Cantina Valpolicella Negrar to pay tribute to a history, where previous generations very often paid a very high price, allowing todays generation of vine growers to benefit from the hard work of their forefathers.
Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico, this area was also known for its prestigious stones, such as the red marble of Verona. It was widely used by the Venetians when building their villas. However, the use of other local stones, less prestigious then marble, was wide spread. The antique mines where the stone was taken, were called “preare” in local dialect. The local stones were used to separate the vineyards and also to build the terraces, allowing the vines to grow also on steep slopes.

The history of this wine is old, it dates back to the ancient Romans and the famous wine Retico highly praised and appreciated by the Latin poets. Symbol of the viticulture of the Valpolicella Classica based on the particular process of the naturally withering of the grapes, is considered to be origin of the Amarone.
