Buglioni, I'mperfetto Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Veneto, Italy, 2021

Overview of the Wine
When Mariano Buglioni created this wine, he had the perfect name in mind. But he soon discovered that the perfect name was already taken, and he would have to settle for another name. Despite this setback, Mariano recognized that the wine was perfect in every other regard, so he chose the name (I’M) Perfetto, for a perfect wine with an imperfect name. This wine is made from 100% estate fruit, which comes from Buglioni’s vineyards in Valpolicella Classico. The vineyards are located at an altitude of about 495ft and consist of dark, clayey soils with a high content of gravel. Grapes are manually harvested, with a portion pressed immediately after harvest, while a small percentage is left in the drying room. The wine is certified organic.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage was a good harvest with ideal conditions. Rainfall was even and well timed. The temperatures were not extreme. Warm days and cool nights in August and September allowed for perfect ripening of the grapes.

Peculiar notes of ripe red fruit of ripe fruit in a dry red wine, which cuddles and fills the mouth. Deep ruby red color. Distinct and elegant aroma of ripe red fruit and black cherry, with scents of spices and vanilla. Round in the mouth, velvety and harmonic.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast 
This Valpolicella opens with lifted aromas of fresh and macerated cherries, tobacco, licorice and vanilla. The rounded palate is full of black-raspberry jam flavors spiked with wild thyme, violets and sweet baking spices finishing with supple tannins and bright acidity.
