2008 Valpolicella DOC 'Ca Fiui', Corte Sant'Alda, Veneto

Tired of Bordeaux? Fancy a similar-styled, high quality, zippy wine at a reasonable price then look no further than this classic Valpolicella. At 12.5% alcohol by volume, this is a light to medium bodied red wine brimming with crunchy red & black cherry, as well as chicory coffee bean fruit; the produce of Marinella's younger, organically farmed vines. Hand harvested Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, Croatina & even some Rossara, wild yeast fermented in oak vats, combine to treat us to a fine, naturally produced wine with perfect balance & elegance. Match with supper or lunch dishes with your mates. Drinking now till 2013.
