Medium ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits and pungent. On the palate flavors of tart cherry and berry, more sour than expected from a Ripasso. Firm tannins with high acidity noted, short finish, with spicy character. Better Ripasso's are out they at similar prices. Tasting Sample.

This is a slightly different spice profile than other ripassos — really like the wintery spice mix notes of cloves, cinnamon, and other warm flavors with the candied red fruits and earthy leathery notes. Nice complexity.

Actually pretty good after it breathes! First notes were very much cherry. Then it became coffee and toffee after 40 minutes in the glass

Tart, spicy but would be good with a steak, heavy Italian food
