Friday night is pizza night so I pulled out a 04 Valpolicella. Good this is
good, with a slight bitterness that suggests ripe olives but a full and
earthy flavor that evokes Italian. This is pretty good stuff and less than
I would guess. 11.99US per.

Zenato is one of my favorite producers of Valpolicella and always
reasonably priced. This was their Valpolicella Classico,I presume?
FWIW, I first had it dining with my in-laws in a small Italian joint in
Flagler County -- small world!

It was Superiore no mention of Classico. What I like about it is the
slight bitterness which initially reminded me of olives but also of the
potential for the wines of this region to grow up and be Amarone

Hi there,

if you have a chance, try the Ripassa from Zenato.
We have only 2005 of Valpolicella, sorry:-)
