IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Mature blackberry, vanilla and baked-plum aromas take center stage. This wine is concentrated and smooth, with black cherry, white pepper and cinnamon flavors set against velvety tannins. It's also surprisingly fresh for the hot vintage. Enjoy through 2023.

The Monte del Fra Valpolicella Classico appears deep ruby red with ripe red fruit accompanied with spice and earthiness on the nose. The palate displays delicious cherry and plum fruit, locked with sweet liquorice and warm cinnamon, finishing full, with velvety soft tannins and spice. Excellent wine that will get better and better, allow to-breathe, even decant and would be best served with roasts, stews, braised meats and strong cheese.
