GOLD MEDAL: Mundus Vini 91 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 91 POINTS: James Suckling
Sourced from the boroughs of Negrar, Marano, Sant'Ambrogio, Fumane, and San Pietro in Cariano in the historic area of Valpolicella Classico production, a blend of 75% Corvina 20% Rondinella 5% Molinara. The hand-harvested grapes are dried on racks until mid-January and the grapes lose 30-40% of their weight concentrating flavours and sugars. Maceration is carried out on contact with the skins for a period of 30 days and native yeast strains create a wine of 15% alcohol that’s aged 3 years in a combination of large Slavonian oak with 30% in small French oak casks together with a long period of rest in bottles. Perfect with rich red meat casseroles, risotto or as a ‘conversation wine’ with hard cheese.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
