La Casetta Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore Corvina Blend

Elegant and well structured

Always taste better in Venice. 😉

2008: softened considerably since release. In a sweet spot right now. Concentrated lush berries, mouth coating 2nd&3rd layers of toffee, brown-sugar baked plums.

Woody tannins in an unusual evidence in this vintage. A more international style for this traditional Cru?

Nice but quite strong

Jammy smell. First sip very strong flavor, sweet and tangy. Hints of alcohol that help to balance the flavor. Very rich and fruity flavor.

2006

Nice tannins. Medium body.

Superbly structured, and lots of depth.
