Winery Review: “The
2011 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore La Cengia is exceptionally
beautiful and balanced. There’s a lot going on: background tones of balsam
herb, rosemary, and black olive follow straightforward aromas of dried fruit
and prune. A pretty touch of eucalyptus springs forth. The wine is incredibly
light, buoyant, and lively despite the elaborate Ripasso process. Drink
2014-2018.
Personal Review:
This wine had a very fruity smell to it. I couldn’t identify exactly what
fruits it smelled like, but I was interested in trying it. It had a great,
dried fruit taste that I really enjoyed! This was by far my favorite wine of
the day! It did not seem to have a high alcohol content, but it was thick and rich.
I thought it had a nice aftertaste. This wine could be interesting with a grilled
BBQ chicken dinner.
