The 2015 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Montegradella offers medium-bodied fruit with mild notes of spice, tobacco and tarry smoke at the back. You get a lot of positive descriptors for a wine at this level of informality and at this low price point. The wine is easy-drinking and sharp enough to cut through tri-tip on the barbecue. The blend is 70% Corvina and Corvinone with 30% Rondinella that sees a brief 45 days of appassimento. Some 11,422 bottles were made.
