This is not the Classico Superiore. It’s the plain ol’ Classico.

And it’s exactly what you want in a cheap, basic Valpo Classico: bright, hard cherry candy fruit, and a nice note of bitter almond extract on the nose. Bright and crisp in the mouth. Cleansing. This is not for you if you’re looking for depth, concentration, and complexity, but with ground beef tacos? Perfection. Cheap perfection.
