VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO SUPERIORE BALT
Organic wine, aged in oak barrels for 18 months
This intensely ruby wine has a strong burst of cherry character both on the nose and palate. The tannins are beautifully soft, and the spicy mid palate softens out to an elegant, smooth wine.

ADALIA AZIENDA AGRICOLA
Azienda Adalia is located in the Val di Mezzane sub-zone, a fertile hilly landscape east of Verona with an ancient history of agriculture, which is fast gaining recognition for the quality of its wines. The estate farms organically, and promotes biodiversity by planting olive and cherry trees and leaving fallow areas between their vineyards, which provide habitats for the wildlife that helps fight off pests and diseases.
Adalia is a reference to Adalia Bipunctuata, a two dotted ladybird very common in their vineyards, and particularly efficient at keeping aphids at bay. Their food friendly wines, are all made using natural yeast ferments and mostly ageing in stainless steel and emphasise elegance over power.
