David S. Lopez

This wine pours a light, clear ruby red. The nose is light with some smells of herbs and maybe tomato. The flavors are mild with maybe a bit of strawberry and possibly plum. I am a fan of Amarone, and this was my first formal outing with ripasso valpolicella. Because I didn’t know what I was doing it was completely overwhelmed by the prime ribeye the first night. Then it did go well with the roasted chicken breast the next night. I can see having this in general to go with roasted white meats, as other reviewer‘s have noted. But I probably won’t be going out of my way to get it again.
