Wine Description
Made from 65% Corvina Veronese, 30% Rondinella and 5% Molinara vinified in stainless steel tanks. A brief maceration with the skins allows for greater flavor and aroma extraction.
Tasting Notes
This fruity Valpolicella offers luscious aromas of cherry, herbs, chocolate and mocha, with a medium body and balanced acidity. Lively and easy to drink, with moderate tannins and a bright, vivacious color, this wine is best enjoyed young to appreciate the exuberant and intense fruitiness. Recommended with antipasti and lighter pasta dishes. Valpolicella also complements seafood and lightly grilled white meats.

Discovering Italy's Finest Wine Values
"The 2007 Valpolicella Classico offers up an attractive array of wild herbs, rosemary and cherries on a medium-bodied frame. This pretty, soft Valpolicella offers excellent depth and a long, clean finish."

50 Reasons to Love Screwcaps
"Silly Italian law doesn’t allow screwcaps for DOC wines, so this was declassified. Deliciously cherried and lovely chilled too."
