Speri Sant'Urbano 2022 Valpolicella Classico Superiore

A Valpolicella Classico Superiore from Speri, made from grapes grown in the Monte Sant'Urbano vineyard, which gives the wine its name. The bunches are dried in a fruttaio for 20-25 days before vinification, then the wine matures for 18 months in oak tonneaux and rests for a year in glass. It is deep ruby in colour, with a broad, enveloping nose of ripe red fruit and aromatic herbs, and a pleasant touch of spice. The palate is firm and solid, yet soft, elegant, dry and velvety. Game, roast or braised red meats and aged cheeses suit it well, as does grilled pork chop.
