Il Tabarro Valpolicella Classico Superiore
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Prior notes from Nov. ‘25 still valid. Really nice textbook Valpo. So flexible as an Italian dinner wine. Great accompaniment to all sorts of chicken braises.

May 25th, 2026This reminds me of how good Valpo’s used to be in the 60s and 70s before ripassos and appassiamento took over. (Possibly a tad riper thanks to global warming, though.) Ripe crunchy berry fruit, a bit of spice, almond extract, and some kind of non-oak wood (even though the back label says oak) in the lively nose. Soft and lively in the mouth, with a nice cleansing bitter note growing on the finish. Medium-light body. No tannin to speak of. Yummy pasta or pizza or salumi wine. Drink now!

Un bel equilibrio. Io lo sento sapido e speziato; con il polpettone della suocera è perfetto! 😁
