Warm brown red color, smoky aroma, cinnamon? cantaloupe? Immediately sweet on the tongue, bitter aftertaste. Complex, a nice bite. Full bodied. More spicy than fruity. Would go well with grilled meats, bbq, smoked cheese or fish.
Gift from a friend. 14% alcohol

Valpolicella Ripasso Le Tobele 2009
Ripasso means "repassed." The wines undergo a secondary maceration with leftover skins from a previous maceration.
This is a dark, smoky brown red. The wine itself is surprisingly light and mellow. Not very much bitter or spice, even slightly sweet.
Price: ~15
13.5 % alcohol
