Bussola Valpolicella Ripasso Ca' del Laito

The 2019 Tommaso Bussola Ca' del Laito Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is a rich and layered wine from Veneto, Italy, offering the characteristic depth and complexity of Ripasso. Known as the "baby Amarone," this Ripasso is produced by re-fermenting Valpolicella wine on the dried grape skins used in Amarone production, adding richness and depth. Expressions of black cherry and dried fruit are balanced by a rich undercurrent of dark chocolate and spice from the oak aging, finishing in a fresh acidity that enlivens the fruit and keeps the wine from feeling overly heavy.
