Sopra Sasso Valpolicella Ripasso Corvina Blend 2017
Nice label, although it talks about “stone-balancing “ with a picture of 3 balanced stones on the back. A blend? We didn’t know for sure. Tastes lovely. Light tannins add some depth. What is a Ripasso technique, anyway? — a year ago
Bodegas LAN
Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Mazuelo 2017
Very dry, nice level of tannin, first Spanish in a few years makes us want more, and the price was right. — a year ago
Bodegas Beronia
Rioja Tempranillo 2022
A newer and less expensive Tempranillo was smoth, lively and very drinkable. — 6 months ago
Ruffino
Il Ducale Toscana Red Blend 2019
Il Ducale 2019, red and robust with steak. The label says it is a blend, but of what varieties it does not say. It does say, en français, “moderne, intense, et fruité; une vin de caractère”. We agree. — a year ago

We quite liked this, 2021, bottling in 2024. Label does not say “Sangiovese” or “blend” just Vino Rosso but otherwise the same label, the front has an Angel with a torch. Unique scent noticeable, not unpleasant. — 4 months ago
