Monte Dall 'Ora Valpolicella Superiore 2004 (Veneto)


The Monte Dall 'Ora Estate is located just east of the town of Verona, right in the heart of the Valpolicella zone. The organic vineyard utilizes green harvesting techniques to lower yields and heighten the quality of the fruit.

The wine contains the traditional valpolicella blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, and 10% other native Veronese varietals. A ruby red color jumps out of the glass and is highlighted by scents of red fruits, cherries and sliced red plums. On the palate the wine is delicate and fresh with vinous fruit and mild cinnamon spice. A pleasant wine, and a great value.
