Why You'll Love It

Founded in 1892 by Giacomo Montresor, this historic Verona estate has long been recognised for producing wines that express the heart of the Veneto. Montresor combines traditional winemaking techniques with a modern sensibility, and Urban Park is a perfect expression of that philosophy: a wine rooted in the region's viticultural heritage yet crafted with real accessibility and charm. The 30-day appassimento process concentrates the fruit and adds a richness more commonly associated with premium Amarone, making this outstanding value at its price point. Vineyard and Production Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes are sourced from hillside vineyards north of Verona. After harvest, the grapes undergo appassimento, the traditional drying technique of the Veneto, for 30 days before vinification. This process concentrates sugars and flavours, lending the wine its signature richness and supple texture. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in oak, striking a fine balance between fruit expression and gentle complexity.

Tasting Notes

Bright aromas of red berries, ripe black cherries, and a touch of sweet spice on the nose. The palate reveals fresh cherry and bramble fruit typical of Valpolicella, enriched with the extra weight and roundness of the appassimento process. Soft, supple tannins carry through to a finish of delicate sweetness balanced by fresh acidity, leaving the wine both smooth and thoroughly moreish.

Perfect Pairings

A natural match for barbecued meats, slow-cooked stews, and caramelised meat dishes. Also excellent alongside bold, strong-flavoure
