Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Medium ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits and pungent. On the palate flavors of tart cherry and berry, more sour than expected from a Ripasso. Firm tannins with high acidity noted, short finish, with spicy character. Better Ripasso's are out they at similar prices. Tasting Sample.
