Speri's Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore "Sant'Urbano" represents one of the highest and most complex expressions of the Valpolicella wine tradition. This wine comes from the Sant'Urbano vineyard of the same name, located in one of the most prestigious and suitable areas of the classic Valpolicella territory, where the particular composition of the soil and exposure favor the production of grapes of exceptional quality. The Speri family, engaged in viticulture in this region for generations, has been able to masterfully interpret the potential of this terroir, producing a Valpolicella Classico Superiore which stands out for its elegance, structure and longevity.
Produced mainly with Corvina Veronese grapes, together with Rondinella and Molinara, "Sant'Urbano" follows a rigorous selection process of the grapes, which are harvested manually to guarantee maximum integrity of the fruit. The winemaking is taken care of down to the smallest detail, with fermentation and maceration that aim to extract the maximum in terms of colour, aromas and structure. The refinement in wood, partly in barriques and partly in traditional barrels, helps to give the wine an aromatic complexity and a tannic softness which enhance its character and depth.
Visually, the Valpolicella Classico Superiore "Sant'Urbano" has an intense and deep ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a complex and articulated bouquet, with notes of cherry and ripe berries, enriched by nuances of spices, leather, tobacco and a light balsamic touch, which reflect the elegant passage in wood and the varietal typicality.
In the mouth, the wine is rich and structured, with a velvety and well-integrated tannic texture that supports a notable gustatory complexity. The flavors of ripe fruit blend with spicy and earthy notes, in a perfect balance between power and elegance. The acidity is well calibrated, contributing to a persistent freshness that leads towards a long and satisfying finish.
Ideal in combination with rich and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, game and mature cheeses, Speri's Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore "Sant'Urbano" is a wine that celebrates the richness of Venetian viticulture, offering a tasting experience of a high level, capable of evolving and improving with ageing.
