Notes
A classic expression of Valpolicella Ripasso from one of the region’s most revered producers. The 2019 Ca' del Laito showcases an elegant depth and richness that Bussola is known for. On the nose, ripe red cherries, dried plums, and blackberries mingle with earthy tones of tobacco, leather, and subtle spice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, offering layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and savory herbs. A balanced acidity keeps the richness in check, making this Ripasso an excellent companion for grilled meats, hearty pastas, or aged cheeses. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering note of dried cherries and spice. A brilliant wine that reflects both tradition and craftsmanship.
