Valpolicella Superiore is the benchmark red of the Veneto region. While not as revered as its spoilt brothers, Ripasso and Amarone, it is nonetheless the wine that all Venetians enjoy most regularly. It is a blend of 4 approved grapes - Corvina (50%), Rondinella (25%), Corvinone (20%) and Croatina (5%). Harvested by hand it also has a small percentage of grapes that are dried and added to the second fermentation. Spends 6-8 months in 750l older barrels, with some new oak in a small portion, and 3 months in bottle.

“bright ruby crimson appearance with lifted aromas of raspberry and quinine promising a much fresher, cleaner wine. The palate is red fruits, black cherry and spices with great acidity and a dash of new oak for backbone. Nice long, dry finish and appeals as a wine that will embrace a wide variety of foods, and likely age well 92/100”
