Tedeschi Capitel San Rocco Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso 2013
Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyThis ripasso is from 20 year old corvina, rondinella, moliara and rossignola from Valpolicella's clay and limestone Moraine Hills. After clarification and fermentation in stainless steel, this spent six months in Slavonian oak. Autumnal is thick with baked beans, dried leather, sweet anise, dried tobacco, spice box, and dark chocolate cocoa. It is soft, plush, and sticky on the concentrated palate, with a gentle lift of perfumed violet acidity to try and counter. There is a balsamic reduction on the finish. Nice structure in what is often an overblown, underwhelming wine style.Tasted: 21 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
