About the wine

Loved for its lively fruit character and light-body, the Le Salette Valpolicella Classico has so much to offer. Light-bodied reds have certainly gained a lot of fans in recent years and Italian Valpolicella can claim to be one of the original members of this growing community.

Sour cherry, raspberry, liquorice and dried oregano aromas pop out of the glass, calling you to take a sip. Light, elegant and with that velvet drinkability, this Valpolicella is bright and full of life! Freshly picked cherries, wild strawberry and cranberry all appear at the first taste but they soon give way to a more savoury character of aniseed and sage which opens this wine up to a host of food pairings. The finish is savoury and smooth with very light, pleasant tannins. Pasta al pomodoro would be a great match, as would peppered salami. We suggest you enjoy this bottle lightly chilled.
