I Saltari Valpolicella Superiore 2019

I Saltari Valpolicella Superiore 2019 is a characterful red from Veneto that brings together the brightness of classic Valpolicella with the added depth and structure of a Superiore bottling. Made by Casa Sartori 1898, a historic family producer with more than a century of winemaking behind it, this is a wine that reflects both regional tradition and a refined modern style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vibrant ruby-red color with youthful freshness at the rim. The nose leans toward ripe red cherry, plum, wild berries, and delicate hints of spice and dried herbs, with subtle floral nuances adding lift. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced, with juicy red fruit, a touch of dark berry richness, and a gentle savory edge. The tannins are polished rather than forceful, and the acidity keeps the wine lively and food-friendly. Thanks to its structure and balance, it should drink well over the next few years, developing softer, more integrated notes with short to medium-term cellaring.

Production
I Saltari Valpolicella Superiore comes from Veneto’s Valpolicella zone, where vineyards benefit from a temperate climate and soils that help preserve freshness while supporting ripe fruit expression. The blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Croatina is classic for the region, with each grape contributing its own balance of aroma, structure, and color. The wine is produced to Superiore standards, which means greater concentration and a more structured profile than basic Valpolicella, with careful vinification designed to highlight purity of fruit and regional identity.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roasted poultry, grilled pork, mushroom dishes, pasta with rich tomato sauces, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant of 20–30 minutes if you want the aromas to open up further, especially when the bottle is young.

Producer
Casa Sartori 1898 is one of Veneto’s long-established family producers, founded in 1898 and known for combining traditional Veronese winemaking with broad expertise across the region’s key styles. Over the decades, the estate has built a strong reputation for reliable quality and expressive wines that remain rooted in local character. Its long history and consistency make it a respected name in the Veneto wine landscape.
