Tasting Notes Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2018 Magnum (wooden box)

This Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is wonderfully seductive and Italian. Enticing aromas of plums, cherries, wild berries, liquorice, tobacco, and blossoms. On the palate, a slightly sweet start of ripe fruit, baking spices and liquorice, soft tannins, and a very long finish that will impress.

Wine & Food

Not only a great accompaniment to game, mushrooms, stews, but also to cheeses, pastas, and even dishes with tomatoes and tomato sauces. It is also delicious to drink on its own later in the evening. In short, the choice for food pairing is vast.

Additional Information

Ripasso means to pass through again, and in this process, the Valpolicella is passed over the pressed skins of an Amarone. The wine is made from Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes and has matured for at least 1 year in oak barrels and can easily be aged for another 7 years. Superiore means that the wine has 1% more alcohol than the "regular" version.
