This Valpolicella Classico Superiore represents the natural evolution of Corte Odorico’s Classico, shaped by extended ageing and a more pronounced structural profile. Produced from vineyards in San Pietro in Cariano, it reflects the traditional character of Valpolicella Classica while offering a richer and more layered expression.

The blend, dominated by Corvina and Corvinone, gains complexity through careful wood maturation, allowing ripe fruit, gentle spice and toasted nuances to emerge. The result is a wine designed for the table, capable of accompanying more substantial dishes while preserving the estate’s hallmark elegance.

Valpolicella Classico Superiore presents in the glass with a deep ruby-red colour. The nose reveals ripe cherry, sweet spices and light toasted notes, layered with subtle hints of red fruit. On the palate, it is round, well-balanced and harmonious, with a pleasant softness, refined tannins and an elegant, persistent finish that underscores its Superiore character.

Pairing: Excellent with pasta dishes featuring meat sauces, roasts, red meats, light game, aged cheeses and flavourful cured meats.

Corte Odorico is the result of a family story that began in 1968, when Odorico Begalli became the owner of the vineyards he had previously worked as a sharecropper, between Pedemonte and Cengia, in the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. What started as a deep respect for the land soon turned into a lifelong passion for viticulture, a passion Odorico naturally passed on to his son Daniele.

While father and son worked side by side in the vineyards, Daniele began experimenting with winemaking in the 1980s, driven by curiosity and a desire to give voice to their grapes. In 1994, he built the family’s rustic farmhouse — not only a beloved home, but also the heart of the winery, complete with cellar, tasting room, and a traditional fruttaio for grape drying.

In 2009, the third generation joined the estate, giving birth to the name Corte Odorico, chosen as a tribute to Odorico himself — viticulturist, father, and grandfather, and the true cornerstone of the family. Harvest remains strictly manual, just as it was done in the past, with the involvement of the entire family. The best grape clusters are selected for a three-month appassimento, concentrating flavor and structure for the estate’s most emblematic wines: Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto.

Today, the winery reflects a quiet balance between tradition and evolution: Daniele’s experience rooted in the land, and the fresh perspective brought by his son Nicodemo, trained in oenology. What unites them is a shared respect for Valpolicella and a commitment to wines that remain honest expressions of place and family.

Production method

The grapes are harvested by hand at full ripeness to ensure concentration and balance. Vinification follows traditional methods with controlled fermentation and maceration to extract colour, aromas and fine tannins.

Ageing takes place in oak, where the wine develops additional structure and aromatic complexity. This period in wood enhances roundness and softness, before further refinement in bottle prepares the wine for release.

Our own encounter with Corte Odorico happened by chance. On our way to Puglia in the autumn of 2025, we were looking for a simple overnight stop in Valpolicella — halfway between Hamburg and Ostuni. Having already discovered San Pietro in Cariano the year before, Elena came across this small, family-run winery offering hospitality right among the vineyards, in the historic Classico zone.

Arriving late in the evening, we opened a bottle of their Valpolicella Classico — and were immediately struck by its juiciness, freshness, and pure fruit expression. The following morning, although we didn’t manage to meet Malvina in person, we tasted more of the wines, which quietly confirmed what we had felt the night before. A few bottles travelled with us to Ostuni, followed by another visit on our way back home — and the beginning of a collaboration shaped not by strategy, but by shared values.

As Malvina later wrote to us:

“We are still very small, so you could proudly say you are our only retailers in Germany. That would truly make me happy, because collaborations born out of genuine pleasure are the ones we want. By choice, we have not entered large or medium import markets.”

Corte Odorico remains a winery defined by authenticity, family, and place — and for us, a reminder that the most meaningful partnerships often begin unexpectedly, over a friendly chat and a simple glass of wine.
