Other Red Blends from Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy

James Suckling – 95 Points

Pungent nose of violets, amarena cherries, dried figs and lightly charred oak. Some toffee notes emerge with air, together with more pressed flowers. Not so much full-bodied as full-flavored, with silky, fine and polished tannins. Very young and driven at the moment. Lacks the depth and complexity of more fortunate vintages, but still shows exceptional quality. Try from 2024.

Food Pairing
Pairs well with chicken, duck, lamb, and pasta with red sauce.
