Tasting- Bengali Valpolicella Ripasso

Name: Bengali Valpolicella Ripasso

Variety: 
Price: $14.95
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011

Description: "The 2011 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore La Ceniga is exceptionally beautiful and balanced. There's a lot going on: background tones of basalm herb, rosemary and black olive follow straightforward aromas of dried fruit and prune. A pretty touch of eucalyptus springs forth. The wine is incredibly light, buoyant and lively despite the elaborate Ripasso process. Drink 2014-2018." 90 points, Robert Parker


Fruitier than the Odoardi Savuto, this red has anything but a dry finish.
