Guerrieri Rizzardi ~ Pojega Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOP Ripasso 2015
Rich Spicy Reds,13.9%
An amazingly affordable alternative to Amarone. Very concentrated, full of intense flavours but more medium- than full-bodied and less rich. Very smooth... delicious!

TastingNotes
This Italian Classics mixed case showcases three red and three white Italian wines (two bottles of each), all of which are classics - and all from my list. I never include any cheap "fillers".
Italian wines can be confusing. Italy has the highest number of indigenous grape varieties and is increasingly planting non-Italian varieties so there are many, many different wines produced thoughout the country.
It was difficult to narrow down my choice but in the end I have included a Prosecco with substance, a Pinot Bianco, a single vineyard Soave Classico, a smooth Valpolicella, an awesome Nebbiolo and an amazing Brunello which is drinking beautifully now. See above for a summary or click on each wine for more details.
