From white soils high in calcium carbonate, this wine is named after the 13th century church which stands in the middle of the west-facing 2.92ha vineyard, laid out over eight terraces. ‘Here, I wanted to bring oak to Valpolicella,’ explains Angelini Wine Estates' COO and talented winemaker, Andrea Lonardi, who uses new 50hl casks for 12 months. Bright red and black cherry scents with earthy depth lead to a silky-soft, vibrant palate full of succulent cherry fruit. The mid-palate is stony and shows good fruit sapidity, while the finish is long, spicy and fresh. Excellent balance and incredibly energetic. ... More details

A medium-bodied red with fresh red berry aromas and flavors, adding floral, citrus and mineral nuances as it progresses. The tannins are very fine and almost chalky, soaking up more and more fruit on the ever-expanding palate. Long finish. This is a very graceful and well-crafted Valpo that reminds me a bit of pinot noir. Very expressive without being in any way loud. Enjoy now.

The 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ognisanti di Novare is quite pretty, wafting up with nuances of rose petals and dried strawberries. It's softly textured, and a saline core of minerality adds a savory flair as tart cherry fruit cascades across the palate. Inner violet and lavender tones resonate as the 2020 finishes a bit short yet remarkably fresh.
Winery
Intense, concentrated ruby-red color, rich aromatic array on the nose with notes of fresh red fruit, spices. Palate voluminous and well-balanced with acidity, long and satisfying, with biting tannins and a savory finish.

Varietal: Corvina Blend

The Corvina varietal grape is one of Italy's most famous products, and is used in the production of some of the country's most famous and widely admired wine. Amarone and Valpolicella wines use a high percentage of Corvina grapes, and these wines make the most of the grapes' bright crimson color, and richness of sour cherry flavors Because the Corvina grape has a naturally high level of fruit acid, it is perfect for barrel aging This process rounds out the harsher, bitterer aspects of the grape, and produces wonderfully soft, mellow yet complex red wines. Most commonly associated with the region of Veneto, Corvina grapes have, in recent decades, been planted in several New World countries eager to emulate the fine wines found in Italy.

Region: Veneto

As historically one of the most important regions in the world regarding trade and experimentation, it comes as no surprise to discover that Veneto has always been a well respected and innovative wine region. This area of north-easterly area of Italy benefits greatly from a continental climate tempered by the Alps, and plenty of influence from the Germanic countries it is near to. Veneto is most commonly associated with beautifully elegant white wines, such as those of Soave, and has over ninety thousand hectares under vine. Impressively, within that area, over a third of the vineyards in the Veneto region have been granted official AOC status, and many of the sub-regions and appellations of Veneto have gone on to be world-famous in regards to quality. One such example is Valpolicella, where some of Italy's finest and most complex red wines are produced.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
