The Tasting

Appearance & Nose
01This Valpolicella Ripasso presents a captivating ruby red hue, hinting at its concentrated character without any effervescence. The nose is a vibrant tapestry of ripe cherry and plum, woven with subtle notes of dried fig and a whisper of black pepper that speaks to its Ripasso heritage.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it unfolds with a delightful balance of fruit-forward richness and a pleasingly dry, slightly grippy tannin structure. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the dark fruit with a lingering warmth and a touch of balsamic complexity. This wine would be an excellent companion to classic Venetian dishes such as Sarde in Saor, hearty bean soups, grilled lamb chops, or a rustic osso buco. It also shines alongside aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.
