A Remarkable Celebration of Veneto
This Remarkable 2 Bottle Italian Wine Set brings together two iconic expressions of Veneto, showcasing the region’s extraordinary ability to craft both refined whites and powerful reds. Featuring Pieropan’s La Rocca Soave Classico and Bertani’s Amarone Valpantena DOCG, this pairing is a true celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and elegance.
The La Rocca Soave Classico is a benchmark white from one of Italy’s most respected family producers. Made from 100% Garganega grapes grown on stony Soave hillsides, it is golden in colour with aromas of exotic fruit, toasted nuts and delicate spice. The palate is beautifully layered – rich yet refined – with an elegant minerality that lingers on the finish. Organically produced and impeccably balanced, this wine is a shining example of why Soave is revered worldwide.
The Amarone Valpantena DOCG by Bertani offers the perfect counterpoint. Deep ruby in the glass, it brims with black cherries, wild berries, spices and dried fruit. Full-bodied yet approachable, this Amarone is creamy on the palate with soft tannins and a velvet texture. A lighter, fruit-driven style than Bertani’s iconic Amarone Classico, it combines richness and freshness in perfect harmony.
Together, these wines showcase the best of Veneto – a world-class white and a commanding red – making this set an unforgettable gift or a luxurious treat for any wine enthusiast.

Becky Says:
For me, this set is the essence of Veneto. Pieropan’s La Rocca is a wine I hold in the highest regard – it’s generous yet graceful, exotic yet precise. It proves just how complex and age-worthy Soave can be, far beyond its reputation as a simple white.
Paired with Bertani’s Amarone Valpantena, the contrast is remarkable. Amarone is one of Italy’s most famous reds, and this version captures all the dark fruit and spice you expect but with an elegance that makes it so easy to enjoy. It’s indulgent without being overwhelming, the kind of wine you want to share at a special table.
I’ve chosen these two wines because they show Veneto at its most impressive – white and red, heritage and innovation, finesse and power – all in perfect balance.
