The single-vineyard 2005 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Sant’Urbano reveals greater plumpness and depth in its ripe dark fruit. The wine shows notable volume, but here the oak tannins are more present and tend to dominate the wine’s balance, both in the aromas and flavors as well as the tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
