The 2014 Valpolicella Superiore Maternigo is an accessible wine that gives you a good sense of the power of the appellation, but it doesn't have much depth or complexity due to the difficult growing conditions in this vintage. Ripe notes of red cherry liqueur appear with smoke, tar and black licorice. Have it with a serving of shepherd's pie. Some 15,000 bottles were made.

Fig cake and dried sage notes underscore wild cherry, orange zest and smoky mineral flavors in this well-balanced, chewy, medium-bodied red. Enjoy this with salumi. Drink now through 2023. 1,700 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Valpolicella Select to Add
