Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso 1998
Veneto, ItalyThis 70/20/10 blend of corvina/rondinella/molinara grapes is made by re-fermenting (ripasso) Tommasi Valpolicella Classico (as reviewed above) on the warm grape skins from which the Tommasi Amarone has just been pressed. Used only in the best years the process enriches the Valpolicella making it quite an extraordinary experience. The fruit is exuberant and dark with blueberry-like flavours flecked with spicy baked apples. Rich round long but not too alcoholic this is a wine you can easily enjoy with strong cheeses and big dinner entrées or that will cellar for a decade or more. Excellent quality.Tasted: 12 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $28.95 | 750ml | Specialty - Winspeer |
