Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2018 (Bio)

The grapes for this Valpolicella come from 10-year-old vineyards near Monte del Drago. The result is a red wine of medium weight, fine elegance and balance. To be sure, the Valpolicella name still suffers from the region's misdeeds in the 1980s and 1990s. However, producers like Musella prove that an everyday wine doesn't have to be a sweet, thin infusion. The months of aging in large wooden barrels also suggest how much care Maddalena Pasqua gives to her entry-level wine. - Gerardo [TS08/19]

"This well priced Valpolicella Superiore sees some oak aging for additional heft and concentration. Inky cherry liqueur and toasted almond are followed by a clean, polished close." - Wine Enthusiast

The Planeta 2016 Sicilia Menfi Burdese shows a dark garnet appearance and medium rich concentration. Dried spice, scorched earth and black fruit appear on the bouquet. There is a dry, almost dusty quality to the tannins that are present but without any noticeable astringency.

"The Cantina Kaltern Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Quintessenz is part of this estate's top-shelf line of Alto Adige wines. Pinot Bianco is especially well suited to the white limestone soils, glacier fans and high altitudes of the Italian Dolomites (grapes for this wine are planted from 550 to 600 meters above sea level). This Pinot Bianco (aged in large oak casks for eight months) explores that infinity with special care and expertise, offering a very precise and elegant expression of this versatile white grape. Orchard fruit and Golden Delicious apple open the experience, and the wine moves carefully to embrace aromas of sage, salt, crushed stone and almond. This wine should hold and flesh out further, until the 10-year mark, if not longer." - Robert Parker
