This will rattle your tastebuds, give you a good shake and ask:

“How Do you like me so far?”

Well, Darling, We like you just fine.

First up, Volpolicella is THE wine of Italy’s Veneto region, made with Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes.

Ripasso adds great complexity – it means “go over again”. After pressing the dried grapes for Amarone, there were plenty of grape skins leftover. Rather than chuck away so much tannic treasure, winemakers began using the skins in a second fermentation of Valpolicella,

That adds the Yummy bit with the added tannins and flavour.

Perfect for a relaxed evening of unhurried company with close friends.
