Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Valpolicella Superiore is the darker, more concentrated tier above straight Valpolicella — longer ageing, more extract, and a wine built for red meat rather than for pouring lightly. Corvina supplies the backbone with Rondinella in support: sour cherry and plum over dried herbs, liquorice and the faintly bitter almond twist the region's grapes give. Medium-bodied with high acidity and moderate, supple tannin. Savoury and food-shaped rather than plush, and a long way from the sweetness of its Amarone cousins.
