About this wine

It’s packed with berries and cherries that you’d expect from a classic Valpolicella, but the Appassimento (drying the grapes in the sun to concentrate sugars) adds so much extra flavour, and the oak on the side is delicious.

Urban Park might look flashy, but there is nothing quick about this wine. The grapes are left to soak up extra sun for 30 days before being turned into the good stuff, and then spend 6 months in oak barrels that turns that goodness into greatness.

Produced in Veneto, Italy

Montresor is one of Verona’s more famous winemakers. It has been making wonderful bottles of wine for well over a century.

They put a real emphasis on sustainable winemaking. They received organic certification in 2019, and already make most of their wine in lighter bottles to reduce their carbon footprint. The vineyards are also solar powered, so it’s not just the grapes that make the most of the Italian sun.
