Rubinelli Vajol, Valpolicella Classico (Veneto, Italy) 2021

Nov 7, 2023

By Rebecca Murphy

 The 2021 Valpolicella from Rubinelli Vajol has a light, bright ruby color, subtle aromas of red cherry and rose petals, mouthwatering acidity, light body and light, integrated tannins.  It is made of the classic Valpolicella grapes 45% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella, 5% Molinara fermented and aged in stainless steel, then aged in bottle.  It is a versatile wine, equally compatible with a grilled  tuna or veal chop.  Gaetano Rubinelli, was not only the founder of the winery, but he also designed and built the Chievo Dam along the River Adige, which brought electricity to the region.
