VANTOROSSO Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore
Tasting Notes
Aromas of sweet and ripe fruits, such as cherries and raspberries that blend together with floral notes of red rose and violet. Rich aromas of musk and liquorice root complete the bouquet. The taste is warm and mellow, but well balanced by a tasty salty sensation, a fine but present tannin and a determining freshness that leaves the mouth clean and ready for a new sip.
Corvina
The key varietal of Valpolicella, Corvina wines tend to be bright red and lighter in structure. Corvina's high level of acidity and distinctive cherried, herbaceous flavours are essential to the character of the wine.
Corvinone
A grape very similar to Corvina, but with better characteristics of resistance to water stress and tendency to dry.
