The nose opens with aromas of dark cherries and dried figs, while a puff of tobacco leaf adds a smokey and savory air to the wine. As you sip, velvety tannins and a full body envelop your palate, while the sweet and savory spiciness from the Capitel San Rocco vineyard adds vigor and energy to the palate as the wine finishes with a dark earthiness. Pair this Ripasso with a hearty mushroom risotto or a savory lentil stew.

A perfumed ripasso with nervy aromas of pepper, dried flowers, fresh stems and a touch of raspberries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, agile and lively, with stimulating freshness accompanied by subtle, well-delineated red fruit. The balance between freshness and fruit drives this wine. Drink now.
