Le Ragose’s 2007 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso offers up red cherries, dried flowers, herbs and tobacco in a classic, mid-weight style. This isn’t the most generous vintage for the Ripasso, but the wine nevertheless shows excellent persistence and fine balance at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
