Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend
Verona, Veneto, Italy
Dark ruby in color with a short cloudy reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, blueberries, sweet cherries, vegetables, earth, light vanilla, wood, bell pepper, graphite, light forest floor, river rocks, black pepper and spices.
Medium bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, blueberries, currants, earth, vegetables, graphite, oak, vanilla, licorice, herbs, spices, chocolates, tobacco and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This five-year-old Ripasso look alike, is still drinking nicely, but probably passed it speak by now, so drink up if you have any. Showing a great mouthfeel with nice complexity, but not fully balanced anymore.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with stuffed Zucchini with ground beef, rice, herbs and spices.

Corvina 70%, Rondinella 25% and Sangiovese. This wine is made in the Ripasso method with whole partially dried grapes. Deep ruby colored with moderate aromas of cheery and plum. The tannins coat the mouth nicely without lingering with moderate acidity and a long, savory finish. Great buy right now at my local Costco.

2013 is not at a peak, but still developing. Bulgarian pepper, raisins, greens, feathers. Color of s deep and intensive. Tannins are round, acidity average+. Good quality wine but I would rather prefer drink it few years later.

Ripasso style red blend from the Veneto. Flavors of dried cherries, cranberries and figs. Chocolate notes with hints of black tea and vanilla. Light oak. Big mouthfeel, smooth tannins and finish. Very nice everyday bottle.

Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, bell pepper, wood, licorice, peppercorn, spices, green vegetables, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, wet leaves and light vanilla.
Medium to full bodied, and soft, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, currants, oak, light vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, peppercorn, spices and green vegetables.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This nice red wine from the north of Italy is well balanced with nice complexity. Some even call it a baby Amarone. Shows a soft mouthfeel with nice structure, earthy nose and a fruity mid palate.
This 4 year old is drinking nicely now, but it's not going to be that fruity in a year from now.
Better after 90 minutes in a decanter. Really evolved every 20 minutes.

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Beautiful nose of red fruits, cherries, plums, figs, blueberries, wood, vegetables, red flowers, cucumber peel, fresh green beans, bell pepper, earth, spices and peppercorn.
Medium to full-bodied with a round mouthfeel, medium plus in acidity and long-legs.
Dry and fruity on the attack with blueberries, figs, cherries, licorice, chocolates, green vegetables, bell pepper, bitter herbs, mocha, oak, spices and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Italian ripasso look alike, is pleasant and enjoyable. Good right out of the bottle and becomes earthier as it opens up. Nicely balanced with enough complexity to make it interesting to drink by itself.
Drinking very nicely now with a pleasurable mouthfeel and nice acidity.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and a good food wine as well. It has enough juice to hold it nicely for the next couple of years.
I had it with hard cheeses and nice weather by the pool.
