Luigi Righetti
Campolieti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Blend of White Grenache 50% and Roussanne 50%, aged for 1 year in new oak, bright lemon color with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and toasty mineral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and lemon citrus with toasty notes and spice, slightly creamy. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity, nice balance ending with lemon citrus and fresh mineral character.

Not a big fan of this one. Smells like manure. Taste not much better.

Still my favourite Ripasso by far. Slight bit of oak on what is an exceptionally smooth and flavorful wine out of Valpolicella.

Nice Italian wine. Red fruits (strawberries, sour cherries), vanilla / chocolate aging notes. Floral aromas even subtle but which should develop with a few years in the cellar. The acidity is still lively and the tannins just rounded. Should be better in two years.
Jolie vin italien. Fruits rouges (fraises, griottes), notes d’élevage vanillées/chocolatées. Des arômes floreaux encore subtiles mais qui devraient se développer avec quelques années en cave. L’acidité est encore vive et les tanins justes arrondis. Devrait être meilleurs dans deux ans.

Fruity, cherry nose dissipates quickly to dusty, dry medicinal herbs.

A classic valpolicella, little bit acidic (almost lemony?) and a bit young (could age well) but really surprising flavours with pesto and tiramisu.
