Tasting note: Ripasso Classico is an elegant and refined wine, pours a beautiful ruby red. Spicy, with hints of mature cherries and notes of wild berries, it features great personality and complexity. In the palate it is rich and deep, elegant, and refined, still very young but already very well-orchestrated, with the typical notes of cherry and currant that blend well with the complexity of the wine.
