Facts about the wine
About this wine
Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a dry, full-bodied red built around Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. The ripasso method adds depth and a supple, rounded feel, bringing ripe cherry, plum, herbs and a gentle cocoa note. Valpolicella’s lively acidity keeps the richer profile balanced; the degree of oak influence and concentration may vary by vintage.
