Ripasso

2005 Valpolicella 70% Corvina, 20% Sangiovese, 10% Rondinella

Il Roverone Ripasso is a captivating red wine hailing from the distinguished Valpolicella region. This vintage showcases a blend of seventy percent Corvina, twenty percent Sangiovese, and ten percent Rondinella, creating a symphony of flavors. The wine presents a medium-bodied profile, offering a harmonious balance between approachable acidity and a delightful depth. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark cherry and ripe plum, complemented by subtle hints of dried herbs and spice. The tannins are firm yet velvety, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that lingers beautifully on the palate. This Ripasso is decidedly dry, making it a perfect companion for heartier dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

Veneto
Veneto

The Veneto (pronounced VEN-uh-toh) super-region in northeastern Italy is the engine room of Italian wine. The area sweeps inland of the Gulf of Venice from the Slovenian border west to Verona. It is a transitional region, sitting between the Alpine north and the drier central lands; Veneto enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate that makes it a haven for vineyards. Veneto is famous for its prosecco and prosecco rosé, but also produces crisp, aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio and mouthwatering reds such as Sangiovese and Merlot.
