Speri Valpolicella Classico Superiore La Roverina 2002
Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyLa Roverina is a single-vineyard selection made from the same corvina, rondinella and molinara grapes used in Recioto, minus the dying process. It has a very peppery, smoky, tobacco, rootsy black cherry nose. It's dry round and elegant with fairly high acidity and smoky, licorice, pepper cherry and leather flavours. A fine effort for the vintage.Tasted: 16 June 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Empson Canada |
