Valpolicella Superiore

Valpolicella DOC Superiore

Corvina and Convinone (80%), Rondinella (20%)

Deep ruby red with a slight garnet hue.

Rich, complex aroma, warm and embracing, with recognizable fruity scents of jam and very ripe red fruits.

Taste
 
Slightly grapey notes of tobacco and vanilla. Warm, round, full-bodied palate, well sustained by balanced acidity and close-knit, embracing tannins. A clear nose-palate persistence returns in the finish.

Ideal for the traditional Veronese mixed boiled meals. Perfect for brazed and roasted red meat, stracotto, feathered game and strong-flavoured, soft-textured cheese.
