The 2003 Valpolicella Ca’ Carnocchio is bold and racy. Made in a fresher, more opulent style than the 2002, it offers a compelling, seductive array of violets, tar and spices along with a plush core of jammy, dark fruit. It is a terrific effort from Le Salette. Ca’ Carnocchio is made from dried grapes and aged in French oak (80% new). Anticipated maturity: 2007-2011. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.
