From the Lucchine vineyard at the foot of the Piedmont hills of the heartland of Valpolicella, this is a 25-year-old clay and limestone rooted blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, Rossignola, Negrara, and Dindarella. Stainless fermented, then rested for a brief 2 months, this is a humble, charming Valpo with bright, sapid red fruit, perfumed florals, smoked stones, tobacco leaves, and fine, taut tannins to an alluring salt snap finish. Lower in alcohol (12.5 degrees), this charming, humble red is eager for a slight chill and to be paired with your pork or game birds.
