Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore - La Preosa
Wine with an intense cherry red colour, which it deepens in the time.
Deliciously spicy on the nose with a sweeter vanilla scents and a lovely robust fruity finish. A well structured wine. It stays in big oak barrels for almost a year.
It is excellent with red meat and game. Served at room temperature, it would be better if it decants a couple of hours before drinking.
