The 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ca' del Merlo wafts up with an incredibly pretty, savory bouquet of dried Mediterranean herbs, geranium and citrus-tinged wild strawberries. It displays depths of ripe red and blue fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as rosy inner florals arch across the palate, all over a core of tantalizing acidity. The finish is floral and long, leaving a tart sensation of raspberry as hints of lavender fade slowly. This is a supremely elegant and refined vintage for Ca' del Merlo. (EG)

Notes

The 2018 Giuseppe Quintarelli “Cà del Merlo” Rosso is a profound, traditionally crafted Veneto IGT blend that showcases the estate's mastery of extended aging and ripasso technique. The nose is deep, rich, and wonderfully complex, with concentrated aromas of ripe cherry, dark plum, and blackberry, beautifully layered with sophisticated notes of tobacco, dried herbs, licorice, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, exhibiting a velvety, mature texture framed by firm, yet integrated tannins and a balancing acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, warming, and savory, echoing with cocoa and crushed mineral character. A stunning, soulful wine that is built to age gracefully for decades.
