La Giaretta Valpolicella Volpare 2022

Lush and detailed fruit profile with a full earthy undertone, polished by the sweetness of dense fruit

Lush and multi faceted wine with a deep, gentle texture. The nose is centered around by the sweetness of raspberries and cherries, with a soft note of leather. The flavor is full-bodied, with a smooth, rounded follow through that remains pleasantly. The tannins are well-balanced, providing a sense of composition without overpowering the fruit. Overall, a excellent bargain for the price, with a smooth, easy-drinking finish.

Somewhat underwhelming impression with this. The wine was surprisingly light and didn't quite meet my expectations. The fruit was a bright red color, with a cherry red currant and some leather and earthy undertones. These gentle whispers kept the wine grounded, but ultimately, it felt a bit too mild for my taste. I'm hoping to find a better match next time.
