La Roggia, a single vineyard. The adage oft-used here is that the quality of an estate is deemed by the Valpolicella and the Recioto. A tour de force, with 120 grams of residual sugar effortlessly balanced by dense extract, the tannins therewith and the voltage of acidity that, rather than being volatile, is derived from the site and picking windows. Coffee bean, mocha, dark cherry and licorice root. Yet it is the textural detail and morass of power and sweetness, somehow refraining from being cloying due to the freshness, that tells the real story. Scintillating length. Circa a mere 6,000 bottles. The only wine at this estate crafted with barrique. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. ... More details

Region: Veneto

The wine region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy has long been associated with fine wines, but also with the spirit of innovation which is typical of the region and which made it an important area of Europe throughout history. Indeed, today Veneto's wine-makers are recognized as the most modernized in all of Italy, using contemporary techniques to make the best of the high quality grape varietals which flourish in the region. These include the wonderful Garganega varietal, which is the grape used for the production of Veneto's widely loved Soave white wine, and Glera and Verduzzo, which are both used in more traditional wines of the region. The region benefits from a cooler climate, but one which is sheltered by the Alps, producing balanced and consistent climatic conditions ideal for viticulture.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
