Lovely vivid, sweet blackberry, damson and plum fruit here, in this concentrated, lively, interesting Valpolicella. It has intense floral aromas and notes of tar and dark chocolate, as well as some ripe apple notes and a distinctive, very Italian, bitter damson twist. There&#8217;s a lot of flavour here. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p>UK agent: Berkmann Cellars<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This high-end Valpolicella, which until recently was labelled as IGT Veronese, \u00a0contains the well known Veneto varieties of\u00a0Corvina and Rondinella together with rare, Masi-rediscovered variety Oseleta.
