Characteristics of the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore
It displays a deep ruby almost garnet red, with a subtle orange vein, due to the long ageing. Bouquet is surprisingly wide and fragrant, merging ginger flavour, pepper, plum and black cherry notes. It’s complex, balanced and slightly tannic in taste.
