These wines are well worth seeking out, and as the retail prices below indicate, they can offer excellent value. Very dark garnet. Ripe blueberry and blackberry aromas with spicy, oaky hints of cinnamon and cloves. Excellent wine and a very good value. Bright and crisp on the palate, berry and tart apple flavors, fresh and clean.
Snappy acidity persists in a long finish.
Showing Valpolicella's affinity with picnic fare, a happy match with mortadella and provolone sandwiches on fresh flatbread. His on-line wine course, based on one he teaches in the evenings, is useful and enjoyable. So are his links to other sites and UK wine merchant listings. If all sites were this good we'd spend more time surfing than drinking. Which is probably more expensive, but almost as much fun.
