The Marion 2017 Valpolicella Superiore is a lean-bodied red with a bright, fruit-froward bouquet. There are aromas of dried cherry, clay terracotta and white licorice. The wine is fresh and nicely streamlined. There is a hint of characteristic sweetness on the finish. The folks at Marion do a wonderful job across their line of wines, including this 20,000-bottle release.

This is one of the nicest Valpolicellas you can buy. The Marion 2016 Valpolicella Superiore is a fresh mid-weight wine with loads of pretty primary intensity focused on wild cherry, cassis and raspberry. Those fruity tones give the wine lift and an immediate sense of vertical intensity and brightness that could liven up a simple pork chop or a classic hamburger and fries. One-third of the Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes used here undergo appassimento for one month. This wine offers an impeccable sense of sharpness and focus, and that pristine quality definitely stands out in this pretty vintage of 20,000 bottles.

This lightly juicy red is accessible and well-balanced, with wild strawberry, dried black cherry, licorice, light herb and smoke notes. Drink now through 2020. 2,916 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Valpolicella Select to Add

The 2010 Valpolicella Superiore offers a nostalgic throwback view onto what good Valpolicella should taste like. This wine is graceful and fresh with streamlined elegance accented by white cherry, sweet almond, dried Mediterranean herb and pressed violets. It boasts a light garnet color and medium, food-friendly build.

The 2009 Valpolicella Superiore represents an ambitious leap into elegant and nuanced winemaking. Stefano Campedelli decided years ago not to jump onto the Ripasso bandwagon when that category started growing in popularity. Instead, he tells me, he wanted to focus on this wine because it has deeper roots in true local tradition. The results are confident and compelling, with bright tones of red cherry, dried blackberry, spice, toasted cumin seed and lightly roasted almond. The wine delivers a great sense of power and importance without going overboard. Drink 2015-2020. At the end of a long, cypress-lined drive is magic Marion. More than anyone else (including much bigger names), Stefano and Nicoletta Campedelli represent the purest expression of non-Classico Amarone that I know. Located in Marcellise in the eastern part of Valpolicella, their wines show a charmingly wild, crisp and edgy quality that you don’t find in the nearby Valpolicella Classico zone. Stefano is an accidental winemaker: He started out by producing gift bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon to give to guests at his 1993 wedding. His gift keeps on giving.
