Trust your Taste

Currants and wild cherries meet a little spice and vanilla in this Valpolicella. A balanced palate and long finish make it an inviting red for dinner. Try it if you enjoy fresh fruit without a very heavy feel.

How this wine feels

This feels fairly light and balanced, with gentle tannins giving some shape. Fresh cherry and currant flavours lead the finish, with spice behind them. It is a composed, fruit-led Italian red.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
