Coffele Valpolicella 2024 (75cl, 12.5%)

An organic red wine from Azienda Agricola Coffele Alberto, produced from a 6-hectare estate in the hamlet of Campiano. The blend is typically 75% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. The grapes are hand-harvested in October, fermented in steel for 10-12 days, then aged for about four months in steel. The nose is intense and full of fruit, with sour black cherries, blackberries and ripe red cherries, plus subtle balsam, spice and light herbaceousness. The palate is highly structured yet delicate and harmonious, with refreshing acidity and dense yet fine tannins. The finish is long, persistent and salty.
