Violet color. Aromas and flavors of black raisin, Alpine and Italian garden herbs, cocoa nibs, and leather and incense with a round, vibrant, dryish medium-full body and a warming, complex, medium-long finish revealing accents of baked black fruits, herbs, leather, and purple florals and sweet balsamic with chewy, medium, coating tannins and light oak flavor. Exactly what you want from a Valpolicella, black fruited with plenty of savory herbs and incense; a classic pairing with a ragu or roast.
