The Farina Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe morello cherry, dried plum, and crushed violet, layered with hints of cocoa powder and warm spice. On the palate, the wine reveals its signature Ripasso richness — a result of re-fermenting on the dried grape skins of Amarone — delivering concentrated flavors of black cherry preserve, pomegranate, and dark chocolate, underpinned by notes of leather, tobacco, and a whisper of vanilla from oak aging. The tannins are firm yet velvety, with a lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and structured. The finish is long and warming, leaving a pleasant echo of dried fruit and bittersweet cocoa.
