Ruby red in color with purple tinges. It has a fragrant and intense aroma with hints of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry and green pepper, followed by hints of cocoa and dried fruit. On the palate, its vibrant juiciness is accompanied by velvety tannins. It has a lingering and tangy aftertaste.

The Santi 2016 Valpolicella Superiore Ventale is an entry-level blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella. The grapes are fermented in oak casks and aged in tonneaux for 14 months. Some 70% of the wood comes from chestnut trees and the rest is cherry wood. Those exotic woods add to the spice and fragrance of a bouquet that is otherwise dominated by cherry and red currant. With 35,000 bottles made and an economical price, this simple but spicy wine is perfect for pizza night.
