Valentina Cubi's organic Valpolicella Superiore shows the freshness of high-altitude Fumane fruit with earthy mineral character from organic farming; a genuinely characterful everyday Valpolicella with better-than-average expressiveness.

What it pairs with

  • Pasta e fagioli with smoked pancetta
    The wine's tart cherry and earthy mineral character beautifully complement the smoky starchy soup.
  • Chicken al mattone with thyme
    Pressed roast chicken with herbs pairs well with the wine's dried herb and cherry register.

History
