The Buglioni 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore L'Imperfetto (I'm) Perfetto that plays on the Italian word for imperfect next to an English spelling that delivers a far more narcissistic interpretation. The wine is tart and fresh with bright cherry and raspberry with blueberry and dried cherry, spice and bitter almond. The blend is Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina.

The 2013 vintage was good, but this was a really great year. The 2015 Valpolicella Classico Superiore L'Imperfetto is a ripe, full and generous expression with red cherry, blueberry and blackberry aromas. There is both bright fruit and dried fruit here, with fresh berries on the close. I'd serve it with a meat-and-mushroom pie. The blend is 50% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Croatina. There is also a tiny bit of fruit from a five-hectare parcel of Oseleta, all aged in 500-liter barrels.

A firm and savory, medium-bodied red, with tangy acidity and a zesty edge to the subtle notes of wild herb, smoke and dried currant. Best after 2018. 2,269 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
