That last rating was somewhat unfair... It's not a good example of a sangiovese because it's not a sangiovese at all! This is rich in fruit and slightly off-dry - an excellent wine for guests who say they aren't wine drinkers. — 9 years ago

Decent drop of Val, the hearty bouquet doesn't bely the depth of body and concentration. — 9 years ago

This is a Valpolicella blend without Molinara but with some Croatina. Grapes come from volcanic soils of San Briccio Cru, near Mezzane. Aged in French barriques, dry, long finish and a long life to live for. — 10 years ago

An "authentic" Valpolicella Superiore. No half-dried grapes, no new oak, no sugar. Traditional blend of corvina, corvinone, rondinella, molinara, fruity of cherries, a touch of black pepper, floreal of violet. In mouth: cocoa, coffe powder, cherries. — 10 years ago

Drinking the 2012 in magnum format in 2016. Decanted for 2-3 hours. Maroon colour and nice gentle Ribena nose. A very pleasant and quaffable restrained cherry flavour - not tart, not bitter. A more delicate and soft but well balanced wine that we had expected it to be, this worked very well with our lovely homemade pizza dinner. — 9 years ago

Rich, deep blend of rondinella, molinara garganega. Cherries and prunes, leather and tobacco. A heavy hitter that may still need time in the bottle. — 9 years ago

Marco Sartori is a true believer of Recioto della Valpolicella. This is a Valpolicella blend without Molinara but with some Croatina. Grapes come from volcanic soils of San Briccio Cru, near Mezzane. Aged in a majority of old barriques, smooth, balanced, rich in texture and complexity. Awesome! — 10 years ago
