The 2023 Cantine Prà Valpolicella "La Morandina" DOC is a fresh and elegant expression of Valpolicella from the Veneto region of Italy, crafted from a classic blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a touch of Oseleta. Produced from organically farmed vineyards, it reflects a lighter, more refined style of Valpolicella - focused on purity, finesse and drinkability rather than weight and extraction.
The nose is bright and aromatic, offering notes of red cherry, raspberry and wild berries, layered with hints of fresh herbs, wild thyme and subtle spice. There is a delicate earthy undertone alongside a light mineral edge, giving the wine both character and freshness.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, juicy texture. Vibrant red fruit flavours are supported by lively acidity and soft, fine tannins, creating a balanced and highly drinkable profile. Subtle notes of pepper, herbs and a gentle savoury edge carry through to a clean, refreshing finish. The style is lifted and elegant, making it ideal for slightly chilled serving and everyday enjoyment.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect introduction to modern, lighter-style Valpolicella - fresh, vibrant and incredibly versatile. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy Pinot Noir or Gamay but want to explore Italian wines with similar finesse. Best enjoyed slightly chilled and within the next 2–4 years. Perfect with antipasto, charcuterie, pizza, pasta or casual Mediterranean dining.
