Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore 2016

Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore Italy Red Wine is from Veneto, made from Corvina, Rondinella and other varieties. It is well suited for dinner parties, relaxed evening gatherings and sharing over a meal and pairs well with braised meats, roast beef and mature cheeses.

History of the Wine
Founded in 1996, Roccolo Grassi focuses on small-scale production from its vineyards in Veneto. For its Valpolicella Superiore, a portion of the grapes undergoes a short appassimento period before the wine is matured in a combination of large oak casks and barriques. Together, these details provide the relevant background to the wine's identity.

Guidelines
Serve at around 14–16°C to keep the fruit, structure and freshness in balance.
Stand the bottle upright before serving where possible and decant gently only if needed to separate any natural sediment.
Allow the wine to open gradually in the glass and avoid prolonged aeration, as mature vintages can evolve quickly once opened.
