Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend
Huge wine! Blackberries! Spicy, black tea notes. Integrated tannins and acidity helps balance it. High alcohol!

Dec 11th, 2015This is a Valpolicella blend without Molinara but with some Croatina. Grapes come from volcanic soils of San Briccio Cru, near Mezzane. 2011 vintage brings a richer fruit, oak is less evident, structure, tannins and red fruits are already elegant, now.

Oct 20th, 2014Full bodied and rich in the mouth, with blueberry jam, plums, cooked blackberries, black currents, leather, black earth, nice acidity and medium finish. One of my favorite Valpolicella wines.

Sep 8th, 2016Way too young to evaluate right now. Nice core of dark plum but all bound up with tannin. Try again in ten years?

Mar 27th, 2016Strawberries, black cherry, dried plum, fig, balsam, black earth, tannins++, this could benefit from a year or two laying down. Pair it with flank steak, grilled simply with salt and pepper. Could go well with aged parmiggiano reggiano with a drop of old balsamico. This is a very nice wine, and a great value.

Feb 6th, 2016Probably not my first choice a priori for a Mexican meal but it actually worked well with a nice Cochinita Pibil. Lush and full bodied with a layered texture and structure to it. Evidently there are Quintarelli ties here...
