The 2009 Valpolicella Ca’ Fiui is a fresh, vinous red perfect for drinking over the near-term. It possesses unusual finesse at this level along with a joyous, open personality that makes it a joy to taste. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
This is a sublime set of wines from Corte Sant’Alda. The estate has made notable wines for some time, but this year I was especially struck by the elegance of the entire range.
