Very pretty, pure fruit to this, showing sliced cherries and berries with lemons on the nose and palate. Medium body. Fine tannins and a clean finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Made with organically grown grapes, this has aromas of black-skinned berry, tilled soil and leather. The savory palate offers dried black cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside polished tannins.

The grapes not only form the basis for a good wine: they give it its essence, its soul, its personality. They adapt themselves to the rhythms of nature, they make themselves at home in the land in which they grow and allow themselves to be guided by the hands of the vigneron. Cultivating the land is an ancient occupation, tinged with tradition and the aura of times past. The Speris began working as vine growers in Valpolicella seven generations ago. Times change but the old values endure, as does the Speris’ pride in being part of an extraordinary area like the Valpolicella classica zone and the moral duty they feel to express its characteristics in their company’s wines. One of the historical families in Valpolicella, Speri is an important and faithful exponent of the wines of the Valpolicella Classica zone and has also become, thanks to the firm’s consistency and its intimate links with its area of origin, an authoritative point of reference within the Italian wine scene.
