Massimago Valpolicella Duca Fedele 2024 JURARARE fermented with a proprietary yeastMassimago is a Veneto estate in Mezzane, east of the classic Valpolicella heartland, run since 2003 by Camilla Rossi Chauvenet and farmed organically. The Duca Fedele is everyday Valpolicella done right: the local trio of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella fermented and aged in steel to keep it bright and unfussy. Pale ruby and gently peppery, it's all crunchy red fruit, a snap of spice, and a fresh, inviting finish. Chill it lightly and pour it
