VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO
SUPERIORE
DOC

TASTING NOTES

Deep ruby-red colour with tints of garnet.   It has a typical, distinctive and complex bouquet with hints of black cherry conserve and licorice. The flavour is dry, warm and concentrated with an elegant lingering aftertaste. Particularly robust and rich, it can keep for a long time and still improve.

FOOD PAIRING 

It’s a big, comforting red wine for contemplation on its own or with a hearty meat stew and hard cheeses.
