Corte Adami Valpolicella Superiore 2021

This is an ambitious style for a Valpolicella, with complexity from layered cherries, bay leaves and dried mushrooms. There is no obvious pepperiness and the palate is light-bodied and fresh, sustained by refined ripe tannins that are chalkier in the finish. Drink now. Score – 92. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 11, 2024)
