Ca'Rugate Valpoicella Superiore Campo Lavei

If you find full-on Amarone della Valpolicella just 'a bit much', this is the perfect wine for you. A portion of the grapes are dried in the traditional appassimento method, while the rest are picked at normal ripeness and fermented before the dried fruit is added later. The result is a hint of that concentrated black fruit but held together by fresher red fruit flavours and acidity. A really wonderful wine.
