Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
The 2015 Valpolicella Classico Superiore lifts up with unprecedented freshness as a beautiful mix of fresh cherries, cloves and cedar is complemented by rosy florals. This is a model of purity, slightly salty in character, with crisp red fruits and sweet spice nuances. It tapers off lightly structured and perfumed, leaving the palate perfectly reset as a tinge of minerality lingers. The warm vintage 2015 is complex yet finessed. Simply stunning.

A beautiful balance of clove, tobacco, leather, vanilla, delicate peat, and ripe, juicy red, black, and blue fruits. So delicious.

Valpolicella with an excellent balance and gentle strength, complexity and nice evolution that keeps the character but changes noticeably and interestingly
