VALPOLICELLA SUPERIORE DOP 2019

18,00 

Valpolicella Superiore is ruby red and glides elegantly around the sides of the glass. The bouquet is bursting with juicy ripe cherries and hard graphite notes. Later, aromas of violet petals, red roses, spices and balsamic notes come through.
On the palate, it is warm and well balanced. Flavoursome and fresh, the flavours detected in the bouquet are re-flected on the palate.
