Tasting Notes
La Cengia Valpolicella Ripasso opens with an inviting bouquet of dried cherry, plum, and violet, layered with hints of cocoa and warm spice — a hallmark of the ripasso method, where the wine is re-fermented over the skins of Amarone grapes. On the palate, it delivers a rich, velvety texture with concentrated dark fruit, leather, and a touch of tobacco, balanced by lively acidity and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fig, espresso, and a subtle mineral earthiness that speaks to the volcanic soils of the Valpolicella Classico zone.
