Franchini, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Sedèse, 2017, Italy

Oohh this a great example of Valpolicella Classico from Italy. There are red and black fruit aromas with a dry, medium tannins and good length in the flavours. It’s a firm but soft red wine that lends itself to red meat meals or cheese and biscuits in front of a wood fire.

At £20 a bottle it’s not cheap but for a Decanter Silver medal winner it’s a fair price.
