The Casalforte Valpolicella Superiore DOC by Riondo is a red wine that encapsulates the elegance and richness of the Veneto region, promising an unforgettable sensory experience for wine lovers. This is a refined creation from the hills of Valpolicella, known for its fertile soil and ideal climate that promote the optimal ripening of the grapes.
Valpolicella Superiore is primarily produced from three native grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. This particular cuvée undergoes a process of partial drying, which gives the wine a more concentrated and aromatic structure. The result is a wine of considerable depth and complexity, with an alcohol content of around 14%.
Visually, the Casalforte Valpolicella Superiore DOC has an intense ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a rich aromatic bouquet with notes of ripe cherry, plum, spices, and a subtle hint of chocolate and vanilla, evidence of its maturation in barrique. On the palate, the wine is velvety and warm, with a perfect harmony between acidity and soft tannins that weave into a persistent and rewarding finish.
Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as grilled red meats, stews, and aged cheeses, the Casalforte Valpolicella Superiore DOC is also an excellent wine for meditation. Serve at a temperature of about 18°C to enhance all its qualities.
Each sip of this wine tells the story of a winemaking tradition that stretches deep into the heart of Veneto, offering an authentic experience that celebrates the essence of the Valpolicella territory. A must-have for lovers of high-quality Italian red wines.
