A beautiful Amarone with a lovely, highly concentrated nose. Exactly as you would expect. With ripe cherry and blackcurrant. Also some cocoa, black pepper, and bay leaf. The taste matches, offering a spicy (pepper) bouquet with blackcurrant and cherry present in a firm structure. Mild acidity and well-balanced tannins. The finish is longer than average. It is a beautiful, medium-bodied red wine. A ‘warm’ wine, delicious for autumn and winter. The price-quality ratio of this wine is very favorable.

Ripasso is sometimes called baby Amarone because of its deep ruby ​​red color. Not only does the wine have an aroma of beautifully ripe fruit, but after a slightly sweet start, the taste also leans towards ripe fruit. Finally, there is a hint of gingerbread spices and licorice (due to oak aging). The finish is long with soft tannins.
