Exactly what I wanted
Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

Why we buy this one.
Limestone terraces in the Valpolicella Classica hills, above the fog line. Twelve months in used French barriques, then a year in bottle before release. Serve it a touch cooler than you think — around 15°C is right.

Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
