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, this spent six months in Slavonian oak. Autumnal, this is thick with baked beans, dried leather, sweet anise, dried tobacco, spice box and dark chocolate cocoa. Soft, plush and sticky on the concentrated palate, with a gentle lift of perfumed violet acidity to try and counter. Balsamic reduction on the finish. Nice structure in what is oft an overblown, underwhelming wine style.Tasted: 21 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
