WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
With 3-4 years of aging, the Ca' del Laito bottling is intended to be ready for drinking on release. The ripasso process gives much of the fruit and spice of Amarone, but with lower octane that makes it incredibly versatile at the table.
Blend: 65% Corvina & Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 5% Other Varieties
TASTING NOTES:
This has an amarone feel to it, at least on the nose, with spicy dried berries and that signature, heady feel. The full body, though, offers fresher currants and berries and a long finish, well supported by medium-grain tannins. Delicious. The real deal for ripasso.
