Valcalepio | Local Wine Appellation From Province of Bergamo, Italy | TasteAtlas

Valcalepio

Valcalepio is an Italian appellation designated for red, white, and sweet passito wines. Dry red (Rosso) wines are blends of Merlot (40-75%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (25-60%). These intense ruby red wines will typically have fruity aromas reminiscent of black cherries.


The wines must be aged for a minimum of twelve months, with at least six months in oak. With age, they will usually develop notes of spices, licorice, and wood. If they are aged for at least three years, they can carry the Riserva label. Valcalepio Rosso wines usually pair well with meat dishes, charcuterie, polenta, and cheese.
