This is an excellent example of the modern style of Valpolicella - still firm acidity but more fruit and depth than in the past. The wine’s Classico roots clearly show with sour cherry, black cherry, violet, red plum and a bit of leather and forest floor in the background. It has medium minus body, soft and supple tannins and, at 13.5%abv, it has all its components in excellent balance. Very nice and can even ages for another year or two though hard to resist right now.
