This Valpolicella Superiore 2023 from Marco Tondo combines the freshness of the hills around Verona with refined ageing. Colour and appearance: The wine has a ruby red colour with a light garnet rim, bright and inviting. Aromas (nose): On the nose, juicy notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrants and plums come to the fore, complemented by subtle hints of dried herbs, violets and a touch of cocoa. Palate: On the palate it is smooth and velvety with a medium body. The red fruit flavours are supported by fine acidity and soft, ripe tannins. A light spiciness adds extra depth and elegance without being overpowering. Finish: The finish is round and harmonious, with lingering notes of cherry and a subtle spicy touch.
Pasta with mushrooms, grilled chicken or risotto with Parmesan.
