VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO 2018
Appearance: Vivid, with an interesting granite profile, good texture and depth,
Nose: elegant, complex final perfume. Clear initial perceptions of toasted hazelnut and tobacco notes, followed by attractive red fruit liquor and cherry jam notes; some minutes later the glass perfumes of vanilla and spices.
