Valpolicella Ripasso 2018

88

A blend of 50% Corvina, 45% Corvinone and 5% Rondinella and matured in barriques for 15 months. Intense ruby red; aromas of black cherry, tobacco seed and clove. Medium-full and ripe, this has a distinct chocolate raisin character that will appeal to some; there is good persistence and acidity, while the tannins are nicely balanced. Better in 2-3 years, pair now with game or most red meats; peak in 5-8 years.
