Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Valpolicella Classico Superiore D.O.C.

Corvinone 70%, Corvina 20%, Rondinella 10%

 

Valpolicella Classico Superiore shows a lively ruby-red color. On the nose, it reveals notes of raspberry, small red fruits, vanilla, and spices. On the palate it is harmonious and well-structured, with delicate tannins that lend pleasant freshness and a long, balanced finish. The label depicts Villa Della Torre, designed in the sixteenth century with a play of perspectives that leads from the first courtyard to the heart of the villa: a porticoed courtyard inspired by the peristyle of the Roman domus, from which, through the fishpond, one reaches the garden and the lower nymphaeum.
