Monte Cillario Valpolicella Superiore DOC "Euphoria" 2018 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

A 'Superiore' is defined as a wine, in this case a Valpolicella, that has an alcohol content higher than the minimum prescribed by the specifications and, above all, has above-average organoleptic characteristics. It is therefore a 'Super' Valpolicella. Euphoria, proposed here by Monte Cillario, is precisely a Valpolicella Superiore DOC. The name, as the producers emphasise on their website, encapsulates the joy of tasting it with friends on any occasion. And it is undoubtedly to be believed. In the countryside, the vineyards are conducted partly with the traditional Veronese Pergola and partly with the more modern Guyot. The blend is typical of the region, with Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina. Manual harvesting and careful vinification allow Euphoria to present itself in the glass with a beautiful intense red colour with violet reflections. The nose is pleasantly fruity, with hints of cherry and a nice toasty note. In the mouth it is full, balanced and enveloping. With soft tannins and a typical morello cherry aftertaste. It is the right wine to serve when the menu includes meat and game dishes. Also perfect with hard cheeses. ...
