• Valpolicella Day Two

  

  I awoke on my second day in Valpolicella to a sound no winemaker in the region wanted to hear: rain! This region had received an abundance of rain and if there are two weather conditions wine grapes do not like it is too little rain and too much rain. I will go in to this […]
