The Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Contrà del Tono from Cantina Nepos Villae is inspired by a contrada that no longer exists. Contrà del Tono could be encountered along the road that from Villa Quintarelli Ruffo ascended towards Quena. In the beautiful original map of the Ruffo family from 1746, drawn up by engineer Cristofoli, it can still be recognized. Contrà del Tono is an indelible seal of the Valpolicella Classica. A village of stone and humanity that cannot be forgotten. Nepos Villae has given voice back to a small gem of this valley, a sincere tribute to the women and men who belonged to these lands.

The Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Contrà del Tono from Cantina Nepos Villae is a wine of beautiful elegance that pairs well with spiced cold cuts from the ancient Venetian tradition, as well as with medium-aged cheeses, preferably of cow's milk. It's also ideal for accompanying first courses based on white meats and red sauces. It goes well with soup typical of the Tuscan tradition made from cereals and legumes, chickpeas, cicerchie, zolferini beans, and borlotti beans.
The wine has a ruby red color with intense red reflections and a beautiful consistency in the glass. Good verticality of aromas on the nose with a clear sensation of ripe cherry and berries. Spices of black pepper and cloves with a pleasant slightly balsamic sensation of fine herbs, rosemary, and thyme. On the palate, it is particularly elegant with a straightforward and sinuous tannin. Good saltiness and pronounced structural freshness. Good persistence and a delicately almond-like finish.
