Il Rientro Valpolicella Superiore, La Giuva
£26.95
The estate was founded by Alberto Malesani, famous in Italy as a former manager of both Fiorentina and Parma. While at Parma, he won the UEFA cup in 1999. The name La Giuva is an acronym of his daughters’ initials, Giulia and Valentina, who are heavily involved in the business.
The balance, concentration and aromatic intensity marks the wines out from the crowd in Valpolicella, and makes La Giuva one of the region’s rising stars.
Coming from a small vineyard site, the La Giuva Valpolicella has an aromatic character unique to the cool Squaranto Valley. Made from a blend of the traditional grape varieties of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, this wine spends 12 months in new oak barrels.
This is rich, full-bodied and deliciously smooth. An impressive wine with flavours of black cherry and dark chocolate. A great wine for a big juicy steak or meaty pasta dishes.
