Product Notes

Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso wine is an exquisite Italian delight. This elegant, full-bodied red wine hails from the tantalising terrain of Valpantena valley, lending a splendid array of fruity bouquets, including ripened cherries and plum, mingled with enticing notes of dark chocolate and hints of sweet spice. Matured in oak barrels, it offers a well-rounded palate, with velvety tannins and a lingering, spicy finish. Perfect for enjoying with hearty Italian dishes, it's a sublime expression of the rich tradition and unique skill found in the captivating world of Italian winemaking.

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.
