Guerrieri Rizzardi “Pojega” Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Ripasso 2005

By Gary Walsh

Pojega It’s a blend of 85% Corvina and Corvinone and 15% Rondinella and Molinara but is 100% delicious as often only a good Italian can be. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this wine.

It smells of black cherry with a touch of smoke, new leather and sweet dried herb - good and rich. On the palate medium bodied but fat and lush with dried cherry, herb, bitter almond and a gentle earthy character. It has good extract with dry grainy toothsome tannins, seemingly low acid (although balanced) and a good exit leaving the mouth dry and clean. It’s just a great wine to drink.
