For what seems to be factory level output, not bad at all.
Bitter cherry medicine cough syrup on the nose. Cocoa, asphalt, black. I dig.
On the palate, Cherries, Amarena Cherries in bitter syrup. Quite addictive.
Cocoa repeats on the finish, nicely done.
A nice treat when it has snowed.

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 years ago
Delicious, peppery. Great wine — 4 years ago
Really interesting funky wine. Not a textbook valpocella ripasso but still great. Dark cherry, blackberry, and smoke on the nose. Medium bodied, not as sweet as I’d expect for this style. Lots of licorice & cocoa. Finishes with a lingering cocoa note with lots of wood. — 2 months ago
