Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline |

Review
The 2013 Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline seduces with a heady display of maraschino cherries, sweet autumnal spices and dusty dried roses. While silky and finessed, there are depths of red berry fruits and chalky mineral tones, all enlivened by brisk acids. This leaves peppery violet florals and hints of raspberry while tapering off incredibly long. Le Mattoline is a serious step up from your average Valpolicella, and it has gotten even better since the last time I tasted.

Review
Maraschino cherry liqueur doused with fennel, black licorice strap, hedgerow and sandalwood. The small portion of dried fruit imparts density, without overwhelming the sense of compression and freshness. This is an excellent, impactful wine of remarkable levity, despite the obvious weight. A long, sumptuous finish, not issimilar to a heady Pinot. This is very persuasive and thoroughly impressive. The sort of Valpo, bright, crunchy and translucent, that I love to drink. Drink or hold.

Review
Wild cherry and pomegranate fruit flavors are accented by hints of eucalyptus, orange peel, anise and mineral in this well-meshed, medium-bodied red. Chalky tannins firm the lingering, spiced finish. Drink now through 2023.

Review
Decant this bright, expressive red to allow an up-front note of ashy smoke to better meld and underscore ripe, juicy cherry, dried raspberry, loamy earth, bay leaf and eucalyptus flavors. Reveals fine, yet taut and chalky, tannins on the spiced finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. Best from 2025 through 2030. 400 cases made, 100 cases imported.
