"Gorgeous Valpolicella. This has a polish and opulence which makes it immediately appealing. Lash-ings of ripe red fruits wrapped up in a sweet, silky texture with a solid backbone of concentration—all in beautiful balance. 92 points on Wine Advocate: “If there is a more refined Valpolicella being made today in Veneto, I want to taste it. This is a dazzling effort from proprietor Marco Sartori.”"
We started working with Roccolo Grassi 10 years ago and have been consistently impressed with their outstanding quality. Marco Sartori is a driven man and in a few short years he has gone from making his first vintage to becoming one of the top talents in the region. All the wines produced by this modern new winery are world-class. Marco’s philosophy is very simple; reduce the yield in the vineyard to 1kg per vine and you obtain fabulous fruit concentration.
The estate comprises 12 hectares of vineyard, with eight hectares designated for the Valpolicella grapes. The south easterly facing vineyard sits at 200 to 250 metres above sea level atop a volcanic basaltic soil structure.
