Appellation: Valpolicella
Winemaker Notes:
The harvest was spectacular, warm and windy with no rain.
- Varietal Composition: 60% Corvina, 25% Oseleta and Croatina, 10% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella
- The 2015 Valpolicella despite still being young, shows brilliantly, and will be even better in 5-10 years. An approachable wine, due the extraordinary summer climate.
Reviews:
96 James Suckling
“Such a profound nose of fresh and dried fruit with blackcurrants, dates and prunes, together with lighter notes of mild spice and pomegranate seeds. The fresher elements provide the drive on the full palate and, together with very fine, bright, fine-grained tannins, give a long, chewy yet fresh and pruney finish. Hugely concentrated, but the balance and poise is impeccable. There’s no denying the classic quality of this."

"A rich red, with good tension and energy, displaying tightly meshed flavors of blackberry preserves, fig cake, espresso crema and singed sage coiled around a core of dense but fine tannins. Tea leaf, smoky earth and mineral notes chime on the long and chewy finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Best from 2025 through 2045. From Italy."
