Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2020 pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark cherries, plum, a touch of black pepper and some warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. I found this to be a somewhat shy Ripasso that worked quite well with pizza. Drink now through 2035.
