Molinara

Cool, hilly Valpolicella; late-ripening, pale-skinned.

Known as: Molinara, Rossanella

Molinara is one of the traditional trio of Valpolicella — the pale, fresh partner that blends with Corvina and Rondinella to shape the region's easy-drinking reds.

Its flower-perfumed lightness and racy acidity bring freshness to blends, while the dried-grape wines Amarone and Ripasso gain complexity.

For the buyer, Molinara is a supporting star of northern Italy — rarely alone, always essential.
