"The 2013 Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline seduces with a heady display of maraschino cherries, sweet autumnal spices and dusty dried roses. While silky and finessed, there are depths of red berry fruits and chalky mineral tones, all enlivened by brisk acids. This leaves peppery violet florals and hints of raspberry while tapering off incredibly long. Le Mattoline is a serious step up from your average Valpolicella, and it has gotten even better since the last time I tasted it."
