WINE OVERVIEW
Tasting Notes
On the palate there are notes of dried red berries and florals. A full-bodied wine with fine-grained tannins that turn savory during the long finish. Will be great in years to come if you can withstand holding onto it that long!
Food Pairing
Delicious with roasts, game, grilled meat and seasoned cheeses. Enjoy this fantastic wine with friends after dinner.
Tech Details
The grapes are grown on the beautiful slopes of the Valpolicella Classico, one of the most prestigious wine areas of Northern Italy. This area is located Northwest of the elegant Roman town of Verona (in the Western corner of Veneto).
The valpolicella region has mostly a mild-to-cool continental climate that is influenced by its proximity to two sizable bodies of water: Lake Garda to the West and the Adriatic Sea to the Southeast.
