Here’s a simple and correct Valpolicella that opens with vibrant tones of cherry and ripe raspberry. There’s not much depth here, but that’s not the point of this wine. Employ it as an easy-drinking red to pair with home cooked pasta. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 86

This bright and crisp Valpolicella Classico delivers clean aromas of cherry, blackberry and plum. The wine sees no oak and for that reason, its fruity characteristics really shine on the finish. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 86
