The 2023 Mazzi Valpolicella Classico is a bright and quintessential "vin de soif," offering a transparent look at the Negrar valley's calcareous soils. A traditional blend of 65% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, and 10% Molinara, it is fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel to preserve its primary fruit energy. The nose is fragrant and clean, bursting with fresh morello cherries, raspberries, and redcurrants accented by delicate notes of violets and white pepper. On the palate, it is light-bodied, agile, and "crunchy," balancing its juicy red fruit with a vibrant acidity and a characteristic salty minerality. The finish is refreshing and direct, marked by a classic hint of almond bitterness that makes it incredibly food-friendly.
