Corteforte 2008 Podere Bertarole (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)

Country: Italy / Podere Bertarole
Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara Veneto
Winery: Corteforte / Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso

Here’s a quirky but alluring Ripasso with offbeat aromas of black olive and eucalyptus folded between dark aromas of ripe fruit, tobacco and moist earth. It offers a long-lasting but medium-bodied mouthfeel that would match braised meat or stew.
