Valpolicella is actually not the grape itself but the area in Italy it is grown in. Valpolicella is typically made from three grape varietals: Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara. I've had some delicious Valpolicella and this one unfortunately fell short. It tasted instantly of port followed by what tasted like water with a little bit of wine in it. After half of the glass I headed to the sink to dump it out, but I remembered how good chocolate goes with port. So I ate a couple of nibbles of some dark chocolate and voila! What a difference! It brightened up the flavors and made it drinkable but I had to nibble the chocolate ever other sip.I give it a 2 out of 5
With chocolate, a 3 out of 5
