My reference point for Valpolicella has always been those produced by Quintarelli, but this wine is unquestionably the greatest Valpolicella I have ever tasted. One does not expect a Valpolicella to be this complex, rich, and potentially ageworthy. The nose offers up huge aromas of ripe plums, spices, and sweet cedary scents. Unctuously textured, with lavish quantities of fruit, this medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured wine is undeniably seductive, as well as thoroughly delicious. Although the price seems high for a Valpolicella, this is a great red wine! This decadently styled Valpolicella should drink well for at least 5-7 years.
