Antica Vigna Ripasso Valpolicella
Tenute Salvaterra
Italy - Veneto - Valpolicello Ripasso DOC

Ripasso Superiore DOC is an elegant and refined wine, pours a beautiful intense ruby in which fresh shades prevail. Spicy but with cherry hints and wild berries notes, it features great personality and complexity. In the palate it is rich, very fruity, elegant and still young but already
very well-orchestrated, with the typical notes of wild berries that blend well with the complexity of the wine.
