Massimago Profasio 2021 Valpolicella Superiore

A red wine from Massimago in Veneto. The grapes dry for 30 days before fermentation, then the wine ages for 12 months in large casks and barriques, followed by 12 months in bottle. The result is a dense, fruit-led Valpolicella Superiore with cherry, plum and blueberry on the nose. The palate is intense, soft and persistent, with liquorice on the finish. It suits red meat dishes and medium to long-aged cheeses, and goes well with a rosemary roast.
