VALPOLICELLA DOC SUPERIORE RIPASSO "ROVERTONDO - TENUTA VALLESELLE" 2008
This is an oak-influenced Ripasso that opens with sweet aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate and espresso bean. Beyond those tones are more traditional elements of cherry, mesquite, Spanish cedar and cinnamon. Sweet fruit nuances run smoothly over the palate and the wine is clean and lively on the close.
