Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

TEDESCHI |
Deep violet-purple colour. Intense, slightly spicy, ripe, plum-cherry puree nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, attractive, slightly spicy, intense, ripe plum-cherry-cassis flavours with a lingering, harmonious, faintly savoury, bright, sandalwood-cedar finish. This new blend of 35% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella and 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella has 14.5% alcohol with only 3 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 6.5 g/L total acidity. It had a slow alcoholic fermentation on the marc of Amarone and Recioto followed by malolacatic and up to 2 years in Slovonian oak with no fine filtration meaning great high dry extract of 35 g/L. |

TASTING NOTE: Always nice to revisit the elegance of Tedeschi's Ripasso, with its vibrant red fruit, acid lift, and alcohol in perfect balance. The tannins are angular, and pleasantly firm. Great width on the mid-palate and linear finish. Lingering cherry, strawberry jam and plum notes. Drinking window: 2022-2032. Score - 92 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, Nov. 4, 2022) |
