Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 31 May 17
The 2009 Valpolicella Classico is a wine of pedigree and depth. The blend is Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara, and other loose odds and ends found in the vineyards. Half the grapes are pressed as fresh fruit. The other half sees a brief two-month appassimento. The two are blended and macerated on the leftover skins of Amarone. The wine then goes into botte grande for six years and bottle for an additional six months for full integration. This classic vintage shows sweet fruit and black spice with lingering sweetness on the close. The wine imparts a round and slightly sweet flavor profile with earthy end notes of spice and campfire ash.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
