IL RIPETENTE VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE RIPASSO D.O.C. 2021

Intense ruby-red color. The nose is complex, intense and refined with hints of plum, cherry, almond, spices and licorice. On the palate it is perceived full-bodied, very persistent, and elegant. It recalls the retronasal sensations enhancing notes of red fruit, spice, and balsamic nuances.
