Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Valpolicella shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blackberry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, cocoa, menthol and hints of black pepper. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. A well made wine. Campo Lavei ages for 8-10 months in cask.
