Great reds are synonymous with traditional, easily recognisable and classic wines. They are wines with a history, rooted in the culture of their local area and the people who live there.

Cabernet Sauvignon Capitel del Monte and Valpolicella Superiore La Bandina embody these qualities but have something more. Combining innovation with tradition is our philosophy: the great reds of the Valpolicella are no exception.
