What grapes are used in Valpolicella Classico Superiore? ›

Ruby red color, fruity aromas of cherry, black currant and red fruits, floral violet and spicy pepper, nutmeg, ginger with a fresh taste, lively, dry and long finish.

If you're looking for an easy drinking, inexpensive, perfect-for-summer, light-bodied red wine for your picnic Valpolicella has you covered. If you're looking for that impressive, ageworthy, expensive, fireside wine in the cold winter months to help warm you from the inside out, Valpolicella has you covered too.

For a refreshing experience, serve Valpolicella at around 55-60°F (12-15°C). This temperature range allows the wine to showcase its bright acidity and delicate aromas. However, avoid over-chilling, as excessively cold temperatures can mask Valpolicella's complexity.

Just like standard Rosso di Valtellina, the wine is made from at least 90 percent Chiavennasca. The remaining 10 percent may be made up with any other red wine grape sanctioned for use under Lombardy's wine laws. The most commonly used "other" grapes are Rossola, Pignola and Brugnola (the local name for Fortana).

The most "classic" version of the San Michele line is the Valpolicella Classico, a bright ruby red wine, with a fragrant, intense aroma and fruity notes of cherries and spices such as black pepper and cinnamon; soft and elegant on the palate.

Tasting Notes

This is a medium bodied Valpolicella, with more weight and depth than most. On the palate, it's dry and smooth with good structure and wonderfully robust notes of cherry and prune. This wine has an impressive lingering finish with rich flavour.
