On the palate, this Valpolicella Superiore is dry and robust, with a velvety texture that is both satisfying and elegant. Its medium body and balanced acidity make it a perfect pairing for a wide range of dishes, including antipasti, arrabbiata sauces, seared sashimi tuna, or orange-glazed duck.
Crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Sangiovese grapes grown in the hills surrounding Lake Garda, this wine is a true reflection of the terroir of the Veneto region. It has been aged for at least 12 months in oak barrels, which impart a subtle spice and vanilla note to the wine.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 90:
Good Superiore. Polished and contemporary, without quite hitting the sour, red fruited notes of the better traditionalists. Shows dark fruit and reductive hints of violets and camphor, with well-managed grape tannins and oak. Quite drinkable.
