“For the first time the Valpolicella Superiore has changed its name and has acquired its own identity. Our purpose is a wine which is particularly intense on the nose, vertical and proud of its spicy and herbal tones. This year reminds you of herbs of maquis and ripe strawberry. The perfect combination should be… wine braised beef, pepper beef filet.”
