TASTING NOTE: The wines of Valpolicella are known for their intricate blends of local grape varieties, and this one doesn't disappoint. It brings together 45% Corvina, 25% Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. The result will be a wine with tantalizing balance, soft and caressing tannins, and tangy mixed berry and spice tones. A nice option, gently chilled, for grilled pizza or burgers. |
