Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Valpolicella Classico Superiore -Fortunately I had the pleasure of trying this wine with a sumptuous meal a few nights ago. Such a silky smooth and heady blend of deep deep cherries and plummy, jammy fruit compotes... just gorgeous. Velvet finish. Almost port like, quite strong but infinitely quaff-able and a refined, complex and elegant transformation through to finish.

I had garlic and rosemary marinated lamb in a red wine sauce with this. The deep, fruity, almost sweet character of the wine really complemented the marinated meat well. I imagine it would be splendid with almost any red meat especially when accompanied with sweet jus or sauces. It could be sublime paired with any rich dark chocolate dessert. This is one italian red I will definitely be on the look out for.
