Valpolicella Superiore DOC

Our Valpolicella Superiore is a full-bodied, fruity, intense red wine that has a long persistence and is full of essence and passion. It is an excellent choice for any drinking occasion thanks to its good structure, which is a symbol of the Italian wine tradition. A wine that, despite the short withering that it has, is fresh and has a hint of acidity, it is elegant and is suitable for all dishes, be it meat or fish.
