Tasting Note

This magnificent Valpolicella opens with aromas of fresh marasca cherry, wild raspberry and a hint of red strawberry and marzipan, leading into a juicy, sapid palate with ripe cassis and bramble fruit, subtle spice and a pure, dry finish. Fresh, harmonious and delightfully drinkable.

Top food pairings:

• Charcuterie boards or Italian cold cuts
• Soft cheeses or creamy antipasti
• Chicken or mushroom pasta

Kate Says

"This Valpolicella stands out for its superb pure fruit. It's made by a talented young winemaker and his family who took over in 2011 and have really improved the quality at this 70 year old estate. Ideal with a cheese board."
