woody notes

This beautiful Ripasso red, which derives its character and color from being "repassed" over the fermented must of Amarone, reveals elegant notes of red fruit and spices, delicately wooded, and offers a full-bodied palate with a beautiful balance between acidity and tannins... A must-try!

About the estate:

It is not often that I visit a Veneto estate that offers such high quality at such a fair price in today's market. Wine Advocate readers should give these wines serious consideration.
