Santa Sofia Montegradella Valpolicella Classico Superiore Red Blend

Santa Sofia “Montegradella” Valpolicella Classico Superiore – Veneto, Italy

Producer's Notes:

A strong yet brilliant ruby red colour with garnet hues, its bold and enticing nose is wide, well balanced and refined, redolent of prunes and maraschino cherries, mixed spices (cloves) and vanilla. The structure is firm, with silky tannins caressing the palate; alcohol and freshness are extremely well balanced; the finish is long, clear, with a pleasant touch of bitterness.

What we say:

Crafted from carefully selected hillside vineyards in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, Montegradella is Santa Sofia’s elegant, expressive Superiore - balancing freshness and depth in a beautifully polished style. With partial drying of the grapes and extended ageing, it captures both the lift of traditional Valpolicella and the richness of the region’s more structured wines.

The nose is refined and inviting, showing aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and blackberry alongside notes of violet, sweet spice, and a gentle earthy warmth. On the palate, Montegradella is smooth and medium-bodied, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and layered flavours of red fruit, cocoa, and subtle herbal complexity. The finish is long, graceful, and quietly savoury.
