Product Notes

Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is an exquisite Italian red wine originating from the picturesque Valpolicella region. The bouquet held by this lovely Ripasso boasts a rich mix of dark fruits, vanilla spice and delicate notes of tobacco. On the palate, it flaunts a generous taste, blending cherry sweetness with a subtle hint of chocolate and earthy undertones. Aged meticulously in oak barrels, it possesses a velvety texture and refined tannins that continue to a wholesome, long-lasting finish. Ideal to be paired with game or a mature cheese, it’s a hearty offering for both casual sippers and wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of dried cherry and dark plums are followed by hints of mocha and dark chocolate on the nose. A powerful, full-bodied palate opens with a spiced fruit character and supportive tannins. Raisin and candied peel notes come from the 'ripasso' method and are layered with rounded, ripe cherry flavours. The finish is long with added spicy nutmeg notes.
