Product Notes

Villa Belvedere Valpolicella Ripasso wine is a classic Italian red wine known for its opulent, intense flavours. Produced in Italy's northeastern Veneto region, this wine is meticulously constructed through the "ripasso" technique, resulting in a deep red complexion. Heartening and velvety, it elegantly features noteworthy nuances of red cherries, blackberries, spice, and hint of vanilla, all complemented by a dash of raisin sweetness and a delicate, lingering finish. Its rich flavour profile makes it a fantastic choice for pairing with hearty dishes such as braised meats or mature cheeses. An astoundingly full-bodied wine, it exhibits overall elegance and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby colour, with garnet tints. It has a typical, distinctive and complex bouquet with hints of cherry conserve and vanilla, balsamic, floral and ripe fruit notes. On the palate the wine is dry, warm and concentrated with an elegant, spicy (black pepper) finish. Particularly robust and rich, it can keep for a long time and still improve.
