Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore 2017
Roccolo Grassi make some of the most enjoyable Valpolicella Superiores I've consumed. They are always balanced, fresh and dry. The development, layering and epic complexity are impressive.The 2017 Valpolicella Superiore by Roccolo Grassi is a sleeping giant. It slowly awakens in the glass with a dark mix of herbal-tinged plums, cracked ashen stone, incense and dried flowers. This is silky verging on velvety, with a core of stimulating acidity that helps to enliven depths of ripe minera

Pieropan Soave C5 'Vini dell Anima'

Pieropan Soave C5 ‘Vini dell Anima’

White Blend | Veneto, Italy

A remarkable wine 15 years in the making! Calvarino 5 is the first wine of the "Vini dell'Anima" collection. Born from a project by Leonildo Pieropan and his sons Dario and Andrea, it is a blend of five Calvarino vintages (2008-2009-2010-2011-2012) aged for at least 10 years in large cement tanks on lees in the cellar. Ageing this way in Pieropan's cool cellars is slow and controlled. This is a fascinating wine highlighting the incredible results blending across vintages can deliver.Cool

Dal Forno Romano Amarone delle Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta 2016
“The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella is a sleeping giant, darkly alluring with dried violets, dusty black currants, shaved cedar and lifting hints of mint.
