The Masi Serego Alighieri 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore MontePiazzo shows dried cherry and blackberry, but the bouquet is also lifted by a hint of medicinal or balsam herb. This started off as a cooler vintage with lots of rain in spring months, and the growing season concluded on a hot, very dry note. You sense those seasonal shifts in this wine with herbal notes and jammy flavors at the same time. This is a 39,900-bottle release.
