Sartori 2015 Estate Collection Red Valpolicella DOC, Italy

Description

Among the ranks of Italy’s quintessential red wines, Valpolicella literally translates to the “valley of cellars” and is composed of a series of valleys (named Fumane, Marano, and Negrare) that start in the pre-alpine Lissini Mountains and end in the southern plains of the Veneto. Here vineyards adorn the valley hillsides, rising up to just over 1,300 feet. Valpolicella Classico, the simplest category, is where the region’s top values are found and resembles in style light and fruity Beaujolais. The resulting wine is ruby red in color, with a delicate, warm aroma and supple and harmonic taste.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.
