Monte dei Ragni 's 2021 Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a wine that combines the splendid geology of the classic Valpolicella slopes with the winery's artisanal viticulture. It displays a luminous ruby color; the nose reveals aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, herbaceous notes, and a hint of graphite that underscores the depth of the terroir. On the palate, it is harmonious and medium-bodied, with well-defined yet gentle tannins, a lively acidity, and a fresh, persistent finish. A perfect wine to enjoy over the next few years, but already enjoyable today.


 Conventional Production Method : The grapes, typically a native blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, are grown on the crus of Valpolicella Classica and carefully harvested by hand. Vinification takes place in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for an average of 10-15 days. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months, lending elegance and roundness to the palate.


 Pairings: Excellent with savory first courses such as radicchio risotto or pappardelle with wild boar ragù, with roasted white or light red meats, grilled meats, and semi-mature cheeses. Also excellent with gourmet pizza or traditional Venetian cuisine.
