Zenato
Ripassa Superiore Valpolicella Corvina Blend
The nose is beyond intriguing. Imagine sticking your face in a leather bag full of sour black cherries, chocolate shavings, and wild green foliage. Raisin-ey on the palate, with great complexity. Is it minty, or more of a tarragon? Not sure...but give me more! It gets a touch sour towards the finish...maybe it needs another few years to soften up.

Should be a staple in anyone's cellar.

Smooth, black cherry, fruit forward, short finish. Looks heavy almost like a heavy Pinot noir. Great on its own and more fruity with a cheese plate. Great compliment to Italian dinner. 2011
