A step above the just valpolicella, this valpolicella superiore, superiore because made with the best, selected organically grown grape, is fruity on the nose with plenty of black fruit. Elegant, full and smooth on the palate with a never ending finish.
The valpolicella superiore, according to the Italian law, is a wine that has at least 12% of alcohol content, however, the appellation system was created when the average valpolicella wine had 11/11.5% alchool content, decades ago, before climate change was even a word, this is why we believe that wine appellations are
outdated.
Nowadays, the difference in quality cannot be determined by the alcohol content, it is by now impossible to find a valpolicella wine or any wine, even white, with an abv lower of 12%, but should be determined by the quality of the grapes, better, more ripe grapes, lower yield, and this is evident when drinking the wine, balanced, less acidity, a bigger, rounder wine.
