A complex Valpolicella Superiore from one of the most collectable and sought-after producers in Italy, hugely concentrated with impeccable balance and poise. The palate is impressive, almost impenetrable, and the sensations are a long succession of black fruit, spice, smoke notes, mesquite and barbecue. The wine is full-bodied and very opulent, but it carries its massive strength with grace and precision. “This is a great wine that manages to stand out even in the midst of some great vintages of the Amarone Dal Forno” Robert Parker
