Le Guaite Thano Valpolicella 2017

40% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 40% Corvinone. Maturation occurs in steel tanks for 14-26 months with additional 24-36 months in bottle. With the deliberate maturation of these wines before release, this is a lovely example of the elegant Veronese Rosso style. Morello cherry, dried rosehip, steeped goji and dandelion root. Cherry cola, vanilla pod and raw cocoa bean. Tangelo zest, persimmon and rhubarb stem. Amaro bitters, cinnamon and cherry bark. Acidity undulates and carries the ripe red fruit across the palate. Tannins are fine and sandy. This is shockingly youthful and vibrant with the raspberry leaf bitter edges a real feature of the wine. Drink now and will cellar for another 3-5 years. Serve with tea smoked duck.
