Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 94
A bright, fruity wine with red currants, red cherries, black pepper, bay leaves and leather on the nose. Medium-bodied, it displays good if not outstanding weight for a Valpolicella, with velvety tannins and crisp acidity. The finish shows spices and savoriness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
