Valpolicella Superiore “Campogadis” DOC 2015 – Ernesto Ruffo

“Campogadis is a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes and is aged in French oak barriques. 

Andrew Jefford: Dense, rich, close-textured and suggestive. There is oak here but it’s well integrated, rendered creamy by the mass of fruit. It has a sumptuously composed aromatic profile, though evidently in the richer style with appassimento fruit. On the palate this is a deep, profound, searching wine with magnificent tannic structure, powerfully sustained fruit flavours, and the innate exoticism which can come from passito grapes grown here. A masterclass in a glass.”
