Le Roselle Ripasso della Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend

Sour. Tannic. Bitter. Not fun. I expect more out of a Ripasso.

Azzuri may have lost their game today but at least we had some good Ripasso to drown our Italian sorrows tonight.

Tried these two Ripassos side by side, honestly I can't remember which one was better, just remember I liked both of them

Bright juicy strawberry/cherry

Full bodied fruit with a spicy nuance.

Full bodied, mature-esque wine. Balanced; with heavy notes of cherries, but with pepper notes. Great table wine. Paired well with pizza.

Candied prunes and figs, long finish with nice, balanced acidity. Went really well with beef cheek ragù

Typically drink a heavier/earthier red but this was a nice smooth change of pace.

There's not much to say about this wine besides it was not enjoyable for me.

Very easy drinking, delicious
