Speri Valpolicella Classico Superiore La Roverina 2011
Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyLa Roverina vineyard is the source of this 70% corvina, 20% rondinella, 5% molinara and 5% oseleta blend. The attack is soft and fruity with peppery smoky red fruit and almond notes. The palate is classic Valpolicella, red fruits with a trace of bitterness for complexity along with pepper tobacco and a squeeze of black cherries. Dry round and elegant it's all you could want for $17. Try this with grilled pork chops or chicken.Tasted: 20 November 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $17.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Empson Canada |
