Tenuta Sant'Antonio Nanfre Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2016 Review

Simply put, this is a great wine for house parties and social gatherings. The wine will be enjoyed by all, as it is well made with bright cherry fruit and a soft vanilla wrapped around herb and soil notes, but it won't ask to be much more than it already is. It will just settle into the festivities and make everyone comfortable, especially with a little chill on it. It has a nice, lively acidity to contrast the deeper notes and will pair with any nosh being passed around or no food at all.
