VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO DOC 2013 - WINE ADVOCATE 87 PUNTI
Simple and clean from start to finish, the 2013 Valpolicella Classico offers all the easy appeal that this red wine is celebrated for. Pair this wine with pasta shells stuffed with ricotta and spinach. The wine's fresh acidity and bright fruit flavors will match the creaminess of the cheese and the sweetness of the tomato sauce. Montecariano is an under-the-radar estate that delivers great wines from the Valpolicella area. I was happy to learn more about the Ripasso and the base Valpolicella. Both wines offer considerably more complexity and sophistication than their peers. - Monica Larner (February, 2015)
