This Zonin Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore displays a bright ruby red color with garnet reflections.The nose is intense, with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and hints of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and earthy notes. The tannins are smooth, and the finish is long and lingering. This wine is a great example of a Ripasso Superiore, and will pair perfectly with grilled red meats and cheeses.
