Monkeyshed Wines

This wine was always a bit of a no brainer when putting together a new list for the Harvey Nichols empire. Always delicious and always a benchmark example of such a classic Italian style. I’ve toyed with it since giving up the luxury of such a vast range and decided in the end that Valpolicella was perhaps a style too far. But I still couldn’t resist trying the new vintage at a recent tasting. Delicious, as ususal, but somehow richer, purer, slightly more vibrant and delicious than I remember? Screw cap! Bored of waiting for the legislators to catch up (and this too is a theme of the family) the Allegrinis declassified from Valpol Classico to straight Valpol in ‘07 and bottled under a screw cap.
Now the wine gets a listing simply for being quite a tasty tipple at the perfect price.
