Pardon me if I include this wine (by the bottle it is slightly too expensive for this review, but if purchased by the case, it would qualify). It is a spectacular single-vineyard Valpolicella, exhibiting a deep ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of black cherries and blackberry fruit, along with underlying mineral scents. In the mouth, it is a medium to full-bodied, layered wine, with a velvety texture, outstanding concentration and purity, admirable harmony, and a finish that lasts 25-30 seconds. Additionally, the wine's equilibrium is superb. This gorgeous, rich, opulent Valpolicella should drink well for 5-6 years.This winery has made enormous qualitative progress over the last three or four years, a fact clearly evidenced by this wine.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel.
