About this product

High-altitude elegance. The spirit of Valpolicella, redefined.
From the steep, sun-drenched slopes of Valpantena — one of the most prized subzones of Valpolicella — comes Alta, a wine that lives up to its name. Made with hand-picked native grapes grown at elevations up to 520 metres, this Valpolicella Superiore is richer, deeper, and more structured than most, but still beautifully fresh.

Crafted using Ca’ Botta’s signature Fermentino® tank, and aged in French oak, Alta is a red that captures the dramatic beauty of its origins: hills bathed in northern light, cool night air, and age-old winemaking traditions brought to new heights.

Why we love it:
Alta is a wine of contrasts — powerful yet poised, full-bodied yet agile. It brings together the best of what Valpolicella has to offer: the cherry-bright core of Corvina, the velvety richness of Corvinone, and the minerality of high-altitude terroir.

Country of origin

Italy

Valpolicella DOC

  • Corvina
  • Rondinella
  • Corvinone

Colour
Deep ruby with garnet edges.

Nose
Wild cherry, redcurrant, dried rose petals, sweet spice, cocoa, and a whisper of smokiness.

Palate
Concentrated and vibrant with flavours of black cherry, plum, pepper, and subtle oak. Smooth tannins lead to a long, savoury, and refreshing finish.

This is a wine that loves generous, savoury dishes:

  • Braised beef or roast venison
  • Wild boar ragu or tagliatelle with porcini
  • Chargrilled lamb or duck breast
  • Truffle polenta or mature cheeses like Pecorino or Comté

Decant gently and serve with slow meals and good company.

Ca’ Botta is a family-run, high-altitude winery in the Valpantena hills — a cooler, lesser-known corner of Valpolicella that gives their wines unmistakable freshness and elegance. They champion a modern take on tradition, using lightly dried grapes and patented tanks to create wines of great structure and personality, with no compromise on purity.
