Corte Majoli Valpolicella (DO) 2020, 12.5% ABV
€18.00 Bubble Brothers
A classic blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella
Our Tezza Corte Majoli Valpolicella is a delightful choice for those seeking a fresh, fruit-forward red wine with a touch of Italian charm. The fresh, fruity organic red wine boasts a beautiful ruby robe. On the nose, you'll find promising aromas of cherry and red berries. The first sip delivers on the early promise, offering a burst of fresh, fruity flavours balanced by lively acidity. Note, too, the soft tannins. Very Highly Recommended.
This is a food-friendly wine and the producers suggest pairing it with primi piatti (think pasta starters), white meats, and cured meats. But the possibilities extend far beyond. Imagine enjoying it alongside charcuterie and salami, red-sauced pasta dishes, or even pizza. Roasted root vegetables and pork dishes would also be fantastic companions. Wine Folly recommends burgers and roast chicken for a more casual pairing. No matter your choice, this versatile wine is sure to complement your dishes. Serve at 14°C
Tezza's Valpolicella is a classic blend of the three key grapes of the region: Corvina Veronese (60%), Corvinone (20%), and Rondinella (20%). Corvina, with its dark berries and thick skin, forms the backbone of the blend, providing structure and those delightful red cherry notes. Corvinone, once thought to be a sub-variety of Corvina but recently identified as distinct through DNA analysis, adds its own touch (incl;uding enhancing the colour and acidity). Finally, Rondinella rounds out the blend, a common feature in Valpolicella wines.
The winemakers say: ”We are against the present trend of a dolce Valpolicella and Amarone, which many winemakers seem to think the market wants, and we prefer to produce wines to our own principles, .. to age well, and drier.” The Tezza winery is a family affair, established in 1965 by three brothers. Today, their sons – cousins Flavio, Vanio, and Federico – carry on the tradition.
