A classic Ripasso blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone, this pretty wine opens with delicate shadings of white mineral or wet river stone over a steady array of fresh fruit flavors. It’s a correct and genuine wine that offers loads of food pairing potential. ——M.L.(12/1/2011)—— 88

Aged in large oak casks, this dark and thickly extracted Ripasso does a nice job of integrating mature black fruit aromas with spice and tobacco. The oak element is nicely tucked in the background and the wine shows bright fruit flavors in the mouth as well. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 89

The appearance here is beautiful: thick and brooding with dark garnet highlights. The nose is immediately attractive thanks to its sweet tones of cherry, cinnamon and clove and the mouthfeel is exceedingly plush and rich.——M.L.(10/1/2009)—— 90
