| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Valpolicella ranks second after Chianti in total DOC wine production. But typically it’s a light, quaffable pleasant wine. So if you’re accustomed to Valpolicella or the ordinary sort, we have an alternative for you! This full-bodied deep purple red dry wine is a handsome piece of work. Still young and tightly wound, it shows luscious fruits and a hint of graham cracker and spice in the nose. Supple tannins and rich, red fruits occupy the palate’s attention as good acidity keeps the fruit pushing through a long, mouth-watering
close with a bang of cherry at the end. Here’s a keeper, likely for the next five years if well cellared, depending on how much age you like on your wines. Valpolicella is an agricultural zone surrounding Verona. Grapes: Corvina and Corrinone Veronese, 60%; Rondinella 40%. Serve at cool room temperature, about 65ºF/17ºC, in large tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Textured terrines; pastas with garlic and rich cheeses or with game meat sauces or with oxtail meat; cured meats; braised red meat; grilled pork chop with sweet potatoes; grilled ham steak; roast or grilled duck with dark red fruits; roasted vegetables; semi-firm rich cheeses, such as Caccio di Roma; dark chocolate.
