A Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore born from a passion for the region and collaboration with Valpolicella winemakers.

From this winery

Casa Lupo is born, a new chapter in Paladin's wine-making history, which continues to tell us of a long-standing passion for wine. Today, Paladin has decided to renew its commitment as an ambassador for the region and for Italian wine production around the world, taking another step forward that marks a return to its regional origins. This new challenge will be taken up by one of the best terroirs in the Veneto region, with a strong wine-growing tradition that for years has produced wines that have become a symbol of Italianness around the world: Valpolicella.

Here, Paladin has established an intense collaboration with the winegrowers of Valpolicella, combining their local expertise with the methods and skills of its own agronomists and oenologists. Casa Lupo embodies the pride and importance of Valpolicella, offering three excellent products on the market: Ripasso della Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella, and Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva.
