The big news at Roccolo Grassi is the release of a new Cru Valpolicella Superiore from Marco Sartori’s Valfresca vineyard. The timing couldn’t be better, as the importance of the Valpolicella Superiore category continues to increase throughout the region. What’s more, while the Roccolo Grassi Amarone is typically one of the top wines of each vintage, what this house truly excels at is their Valpolicella. The best part is that the terroir of the vineyard, at a higher elevation and with calcareous soils, versus the volcanic soils of the Roccolo Grassi vineyard, sets the Valfresca drastically apart. Marco Sartori admits that the Valfresca is a work in progress; yet still, the 2015 makes for a very exciting introduction for this new wine and showcases the house style which depends less on appassimento to create wines of amazing elegance and purity of fruit. Having said all of that, the new releases from this address are not to be missed.
