A wonderful Ripasso. The wine is juicy rich, and so well balanced. Dark fruits, tobacco, violets, dark chocolate and just the right amount of tartness, make this wine very interesting. This is a terrific “Baby Amorone”. It hits all the right notes.

From a Magnum bottle.
Developed nicely during the course of the evening. Flat at the beginning turning into a vivid smooth fruit forward experience. Brilliant Ruby color.

Our first ripasso. Nose of chocolate and coffee, with some dark fruit. Light tannins and smooth, with nice vanilla and horehound. Wasn't sure what to expect but me likes!

Nice nose with some alcohol. Delicious flavors of cherry jam and nice tannins. I love ripasso-style wines and this was a good one. It may have been a little much with our eclectic ham and tamales Christmas dinner. But everyone loved. Thank you to Agnes M. for this nice gift. I’ll be buying more.
