Light, but plenty of flavour — 2 years 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.

Fresh, red fruited, spicy and cedar-y on the nose. The body brings fine-grained tannins and that alluring combo of dried fruits: cranberry, strawberry, and raspberry marinating in the fresh tart juice of said fruits. All is overlayed with black tea and just a hint of bell pepper. Good gosh, it is exactly what I love about Ripasso: richness lurks, but freshness prevails. — 6 months ago

Reona's birthday dinner wine. Needed decanting and a lot of airing to open up and take the edge off. — a year ago

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! — 4 years ago

Think it’s a little young?? Idk, very good. Think it could enrich in time. Coal, oak, smoky, but a little too red fruity on after taste. However after a glass that acidity is very nice. Maybe it just needed to open up. — 2 months ago
