JK.14 'Case Vecie' Valpolicella Superiore 2020

90 POINTS: Vinous

Brilliant ruby with hints of cherry, balsamic notes of vanilla and spices. Soft taste and good structure. It is a full-bodied wine with a balanced alcoholic content. On the palate, acidity denotes an important structure, thanks to the rigorous selection of the grapes and to the winemaking techniques employed to extract only the noblest components from the skin.

Located in Grezzana, north of Verona, at an altitude of 450 metres above sea level, lies the Case Vecie ('old houses') vineyard. Abandoned for a long time, it was entirely replanted in 1994. Taking advantage of climate change, our friends at Brigaldara winery decided to buy the property and plant Corvinone and Corvina to make this amazing Valpolicella. Here, the ripening of the grapes is subject to important thermal inversions between day and night that give the wine a particular spiciness to the nose and a unique complexity.

ABV: 13.5%
