Bought this at spar as was 50% off (should be chf 20) to drink at Nanikos. Really like it! “Wet” texture - Really not dry. Almost like juice. Quite fruity. It’s good! — a year ago
Really has gone through phases as it breathes. Wonderful light fruit notes before the tannins arrive in force. — 2 days ago
Nice wine. Late aftertaste enjoying it with an after dinner doob with Busch — 3 months ago
I’m loving the aromatics on this rosato from Veneto, Italy! 🇮🇹
@lulu_lara_g I can see (and taste) why you enjoyed it so much and agree there is a lot to unpack here! 🤔🧐
It’s comprised of 100% Rondinella grapes, native to Italy. This variety is a common blending partner in the red wines of Valpolicella and Bardolina. 🍇 Here it’s holding its own at center stage with notable florals on the nose, including elderflower, rose, and chamomile, alongside fruit notes of starfruit, cantaloup, raspberry, grapefruit pith, fresh herbal notes of chervil and fennel, and wet stone. 🌹
On the palate, it’s dry, has medium acidity, medium alcohol, and medium intensity in flavors. Flavors are largely consistent with the nose, but I’m also tasting Smarties candies -- both sweet and tart/tangy at the same time. It brings me back.

My first Ripasso!!! Wow!!! Ruby colored with wood and cherry aromas. This is a big bold wine that is very smooth. It’s boldness reminds me of a Cabernet Sauvignon. Cherry, wood, and plenty of spice notes with a fairly long finish. Went well with our Leg of Lamb! — 2 months ago

Dec30-jan 1, 2022. A pleasant surprise! 50% Corvina, 20% Covinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Stewed red fruit, nice complexity. Great everyday wine. Good QpR. — 6 months ago

Bargain of the year! This Corvina sings with bright strawberry and currant, dry tannic structure, and subtle leather/spice. Great with bruschetta or pizza! — 7 days ago
