About La Cengia Valpolicella Ripasso 750ML
La Cengia Valpolicella Ripasso opens with an inviting bouquet of dried cherry, plum, and a hint of violet, layered with subtle notes of cocoa and dried herbs. The 'ripasso' technique — referencing the wine over the spent Amarone grape skins — imparts a rich, velvety texture on the palate, delivering concentrated flavors of morello cherry, dark chocolate, and a whisper of vanilla-kissed oak. The mid-palate shows a pleasing balance of ripe fruit and firm but polished tannins, with a touch of tobacco leaf and Mediterranean spice adding complexity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit and espresso.
