| Torre del Falasco takes its name from the lair of a thief named Falasco, who used a small tower as his hideout. Ripasso Valpolicella is a wine style that offers an approachable, lighter take on the classic wines of Veneto. This one is a consistent performer and never fails to deliver impressive dark fruit, spice, smoke and leather. This is a wine to steal your heart, especially when paired with beef stew or beef brisket. |
