The Speri family is wholly devoted to the traditions of Valpolicella, a fact that is evident in their choice of grape varieties and the types of wines produced. Their viticultural core lies in the 60-hectare Monte Sant'Urbano estate, an elongated ridge dividing the Fumane and Marano valleys and that has provided the grapes for their Amarone since 1974, while the cellar in Pedemonte serves as their production center. Theirs are wines of superb stylistic precision, favoring tension over power. The Amarone Sant'Urbano drew on the excellent 2019 harvest for a performance for the ages. Its fruit is immediately evident, fleshy, and sweet, accompanied by notes of aromatic herbs and pepper that slowly emerge. On the palate, it's full yet light, perfectly streamlined by an acidity that lengthens its profile. The Valpolicella Superiore '20 plays on the freshness of fruit, coming through supple and juicy on the palate.
