The 2017 Valpolicella Classico Superiore L'Imperfetto lifts up with a spicy display of wild berries, peppery herbs and violet florals. It's soft and round in the mouth, with ripe red fruits energized by lively acidity as salty minerals add a tactile feel. There's a tart and cheek-puckering feel throughout the long finale, as well as a hint of fine tannin, yet energy remains high. Buglioni mixes both fresh and partially dried grapes for the Valpolicella, which you can feel in both its body and its structure.
