The 2012 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Lena di Mezzo shows all the familiar traits of Ripasso (a wine that sees a double fermentation on Amarone skins for extra intensity). You'll recognize dried fruit, black cherry, tar, resin, cola and wet earth. There's a warm note of forest floor or button mushroom as well. It's a medium-bodied red with soft tannins and some sweetness on the close. Drink: 2015 - 2018
