Winemaker Notes
It has an intense purple-red color with purplish highlights. On the nose, it has a very clean and intense aroma of ripe red fruit with hints of dark fruit, such as bramble, blackcurrant, and ripe cherry. It is velvety and well-balanced, full and round while maintaining a lively and intense grip, with a sapid aftertaste.
This dense Ripasso can be easily matched with different Italian dishes: flavorsome pasta and rice dishes such as risotto with porcini mushrooms, grilled and roast meat and medium-matured cheeses.

Wine Spectator
Ripe and mouthfilling flavors of strawberry preserves and raspberry coulis are framed by silky tannins in this finely meshed, medium-bodied red. The fruit-forward profile is balanced by a savory touch of stemmy herb, fresh earth and softly tangy orange peel notes, ending with a creamy finish. Drink now through 2026.
