COLOUR:.Bright ruby red with delicate purple edges.
BOUQUET: Attractive hints of cherries – sweet and sharp – on the nose, with cloves and vanilla particularly as part of the spiciness.
FLAVOUR: Well balanced with soft and silky tannins and attractive fruitiness on the palate supported by good acidity. Long, lingering finish.
A very versatile wine. Perfect with many different kinds of food such as pasta with rich sauces (based on meat or mushroom), grilled or roasted red meats,
game and mature cheeses.
AGEING POTENTIAL:15 – 20 Years
This was a great vintage in Valpolicella, prizing dark and exuberant fruit flavors. The 2015 Campofiorin is made with the double-fermentation method, or ripasso, that is indigenous to this area, and the wine offers both fresh fruit aromas of blackberry and cherry as well as dried aromas of raisin and prune at the back. The blend is 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. This is a more accessible wine that would make a great pairing partner to a juicy burger topped with avocado, cheddar cheese and bacon.
