Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of blackberry, plum and black cherry followed by aromas of blueberry, dried violet, vanilla, tobacco, carob and mace. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a properly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry. Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco ages for 2 years in cask followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
