Description
Tedeschi makes this Ripasso with complexity in mind, which is why they blend Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes with the rare Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella varieties. This wine spent six months in Slavonian oak barrels and a further six months in bottle before release. Expect layer upon layer of fresh and dried cherry, plum and spices, and pair the wine with pancetta risotto.

Tasting Notes
A vivid Valpolicella, with bright black currant and black raspberry fruit tightly meshed to light tannins and aromatic accents of dried sage, graphite and star anise that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2023. Score - 90. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, 2017)
