Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving.

Paolo Cottini’s passion for winemaking was inherited from his father, Silvano, who taught his young son everything he knew about making exceptional wines from the excellent Valpolicella terroir. The Cottini family have been winemakers for generations, so it was no surprise that Paolo felt called to found his very own winery in the charming hilltop village of Castelrotto in the heart of Valpolicella.

Paolo’s PaCo red is a powerful modern expression of Valpolicella’s traditional grapes, blending Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella along with a small amount of Syrah. The young wine is aged in oak barrels for 24 months before bottling to tame the grippy tannins and harmonise the components of the blend.

On the nose there are luscious wild berry notes complemented by more delicate hints of forest floor, black pepper, and licorice. As soon as you take a sip you notice the rich full body, firm tannins and well-built structure which will help this wine age beautifully over the next five years or so. It is also a great wine to pair with typical Italian dishes like pasta alla norma or red meat dishes like a rib eye steak.
