Palazzo Maffei Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2014

Fleshy sweet ripe blackberries and black cherries on the nose and palate of this robust, supple Italian red wine. Lots of layers. Surprisingly robust with mouth-filling weight and texture for Valpolicella which borders on Amarone in weight. Pair with roast beef.

Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore food pairings: prime rib roast, hearty winter stew, meat lovers pizza , spicy sausage.

The dry and velvety taste, pleasant, makes it perfect when paired with first winter dishes, cold cuts and second courses of meat, medium-aged cheeses.
