Nicolis Seccal Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore presents a deep ruby color. The aroma is a complex blend of ripe red fruits like cherries and raspberries, enriched by hints of dried fruits, spices, and a touch of chocolate, a result of the Ripasso technique. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, offering a rich tapestry of flavors including dark cherry, plum, and fig, complemented by nuances of licorice and sweet tobacco. The oak aging adds a layer of vanilla and a subtle smokiness. The finish is long and satisfying, with a pleasant balance of fruit, spice, and a hint of almond. This wine is a magnificent example of Valpolicella Ripasso, perfect for enjoying with rich dishes or as a standalone indulgence.
