ALPHA ZETA Valpolicella Superiore 'R' Ripasso 2021/22 Bottle/nc VEG/VGN

Description

Following fermentation, the wine is aged for just over a year in a mixture of large oak and small, French oak barrels prior to bottling. Ruby red in colour, with a concentrated perfume of red and black cherries, with the ripasso adding a dried cherry intensity. Full-bodied on the palate, with lovely balance between opulent cherry-pie character and supple structure. Good length with a mouthwatering bitter-cherry twist on the finish. Grapes: 80% Corvina , 20% Rondinella/Corvinone.
