Valpolicella Superiore "Hercules" 2018 - Pietro Zardini

A Valpolicella Superiore made by Pietro Zardini in 2018. It is produced from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grown on soils rich in calcareous marl and basalt. After careful manual harvesting, the wine macerates on the skins for about two to three weeks, then ages for about three to four years in amphora, oak barrels and barriques. It suits elaborate meat dishes or aged cheeses. Deep ruby in colour, it shows red fruit in jam, sweet spices, toast and cocoa, with a full-bodied, enveloping, intense and persistent palate.
