Buglioni Superiore Valpolicella Classico 2018
A top-quality, beautifully fruity and well balanced Valpolicella from north-east Italy. Slurp exclusive.
Elegant aromas of ripe, red fruit and black cherries, with hints of spices and vanilla. Full bodied with a velvety, smooth finish, we recommend serving this bottle with pasta or mushrooom dishes.
This balanced red is made using the same blend of local grapes – Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara and Rondinella – as the Valpolicella region's flagship red, Amarone, but is lighter in body. It therefore offers a similar flavour profile as Amarone but with a lower alcohol content and a more affordable price tag!
When Alfredo Buglioni bought the old farmhouse of his dreams in 1993 in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, he hadn’t considered the prospect of becoming a winemaker. However, the property came with a vineyard planted to local red grape varieties and the call of the vines was too much to resist.
Buglioni made its first wine in 2000 and has since released many vintages, some of which have scored 90-plus points in Wine Spectator tastings.
