Чуть алкогольно, черные ягоды, немного ментола, сухое дерево. Не сложно, достаточно ягодно.

Good quality. Fresh and soft fruits with raisin and herbs. Needs pork or beef

Really balanced wine

Why are valpolicellas so hard to find in new york? Especially ripassos! Med+ acidity, notes of red fruit first, followed by more peppery notes with hints of blackberries and leather, low+ tannins that are smooth (nonexistent?) and not grippy at all. Med+ alcohol. Has no body at all, fades within a second or two. Initially I was going to say this is average, then I realized I was blinded by my general love of valpolicellas and this silly bottle was a touch over $30. No. This was a below average wine.

loved- chocolate, cherry, smooth, round $33.99

With Ron and Bambi April 2023.

Very fruity, bright. First taste was so mildly corked you could not detect it on the nose, but there was a tiny hint of grapefruit pith. Second bottle was opened and was brighter, a tiny bit softer, and the fruit was brighter and more berry like.
