Valpolicella is one of the Veneto’s most celebrated appellations — and the Superiore designation takes it up a notch, requiring additional ageing that gives the wine greater depth, complexity, and structure than a standard Valpolicella. San Cassiano, the same producer behind our Duo Rosso, brings the same care and attention to this classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara — the three grapes that have defined Valpolicella for centuries. The nose is rich, fruity, and inviting, with sour cherry, a lovely herbaceous note, and a light spice that is quintessentially Veronese. On the palate it’s medium-bodied and elegant, with soft, well-integrated tannins and a clean, satisfying finish that makes it wonderfully easy to drink. The kind of versatile, characterful Italian red that works beautifully with everything from pizza and pasta to grilled meats and charcuterie. A step up from everyday Valpolicella — and well worth it at £18.49.
