Valpolicella Classico 2022

89

The 2022 Valpolicella is distinctly savory in the glass, displaying a burst of wild herbs and white pepper that gives way to crushed blackberries. This is nearly salty with minerality, as silky textures usher in tart wild berry fruits and hints of sour orange. It finishes with medium length and a cranberry crunchiness that lingers on.

Bright, medium deep ruby red; aromas of marascino and Queen Anne cherry; red poppy, thyme and a hint of allspice. Medium-bodied with good ripeness and good acidity; moderate, well-integrated tannins, restrained wood notes, good complexity. Well-made, this is a straightforward, very approachable Valpolicella to be enjoyed over the next 2-5 years.
