Description

Although the Superiore designation requires that the grapes that go into this wine are harvested at a slightly higher sugar level than standard Valpolicella - thus producing a wine of potential higher alcohol - this Valpolicella is a soft, supple example of this classic wine. Made predominately from Corvina, this wine displays the ripe black cherry flavors for which the grape is known.

Veneto

Veneto, in northeastern Italy, is praised for its diverse wine styles. The region produces excellent Prosecco, a sparkling wine made from the Glera grape, and Amarone della Valpolicella, a robust red wine made from dried grapes. Veneto also excels in producing Soave, a crisp white wine. The wines from this region are characterized by their balance, vibrant acidity, and distinctive regional character. Prosecco is known for its light, fruity flavors and refreshing bubbles, while Amarone offers rich, concentrated flavors of dried fruit and spice. Soave wines are celebrated for their crisp acidity and flavors of citrus and green apple.
