Valpolicella VALPANTENA BROLO DELLE GIARE 2020

Tezza BROLO DELLE GIARE Valpolicella Valpantena Superiore 2020 is an exceptional, full-bodied organic red wine from the renowned Valpantena valley, just north of Verona. Produced by the family-owned Tezza winery, this sophisticated wine combines the richness and concentration of carefully dried grapes with remarkable elegance, freshness and beautifully integrated tannins. Its character reflects Valpantena's mineral-rich, calcareous soils.

Made from Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, carefully selected grapes undergo a short appassimento process, slowly drying in temperature- and humidity-controlled lofts to concentrate their aromas and flavours. Following fermentation, the wine matures for 36 months in Tezza's cellar, developing impressive depth, complexity and a wonderfully rounded texture.

The 2020 displays a deep ruby-red colour with violet reflections and an expressive bouquet of sour black cherries, ripe plums and dark berries, complemented by vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon and delicate warming spices. On the palate, it is rich, warm and wonderfully velvety, with concentrated fruit, balanced acidity, well-integrated tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

Beautifully mature and entering an excellent drinking window! At six years old in 2026, this wine should be developing attractive secondary aromas of dried cherries, cocoa, tobacco and savoury spices, while retaining its generous fruit character.

A magnificent, sophisticated Valpolicella Superiore – rich yet elegant, beautifully balanced and wonderfully enjoyable! Enjoy now after gentle aeration or continue cellaring well-stored bottles for another 3–5 years.
