Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore

Description

The term “Classico” on an Italian label refers to the old, historic, original center of a region, often with a history that traces back to Roman times.
It is in these historic vineyards that often the best wines of a region are produced.

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.
