L'Arco 'Rubeo' Veronese Rosso 2017
The Wine
95 Pts Eric Guido, Vinous 'The 2017 Rubeo is understated in the glass, as coaxing unlocks a mix of dusty rose, dried strawberries, brown spice and a lifting hint of mint. Like liquid velvet, this envelopes the palate, contrasting ripe red fruits with bitter cocoa and sour citrus, underscored by a core of zesty acidity. The 2017 tapers off with tremendous length, and a gentle tug of tannin as enriching notes of plum sauce and balsam herbs linger on and on. The Rubeo is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc that underwent three months of appassimento, along with 30% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Molinara. Think of it as paying homage to Quintarelli's Alzero. Wow!'

About the Wine Maker 
The Estate takes its name from a stone arch, called “Arco di Giove”, located on the road to Negrar (one of the seven historic Valpolicella communes) and near the farmhouse where the owners, the Fedrigo family are located. The arch, dating from 1500/1600, was one of a series of seven arches along the hillside path near S. Vito di Negrar.
