L'Imperfetto Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 2017 - Cantina Buglioni

Valpolicella Classico Superiore D.O.C.

The ‘Sycophant’ Note of Ripe Fruit in a Dry and Intense Wine, which cuddles and fills the Mouth.

Deep Ruby Red in Colour. Distinct and Elegant Aroma of Ripe Red Fruit and Black Cherry, with Scents of Spices and Vanilla. Round in the Mouth, Velvety and Harmonic.

It pairs well with Tasty Pasta and Rice Dishes, prepared with Fragrant Trifle and Porcini Mushrooms. Excellent with Red Char-grilled and Roasted Beef, with Lamb and Medium/Mature Cheeses.

Serve at a Temperature of approximately 16-18°C.

Open the bottle at least 1 Hour Before serving.
