Savoia 2004 Vigneto I Pipioni (Valpolicella Classico Superiore)

Country: Italy / Vigneto I Pipioni
Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Veneto
Winery: Savoia / Valpolicella Classico Superiore

From a family-run, boutique winery, this well-aged expression of Valpolicella (from the excellent 2004 vintage) delivers tertiary aromas of soft spice, leather and dried tobacco. The fruit nuances are still there in the form of dried prunes and plums.
