Arduini presents a well-balanced and nicely proportioned ripasso that puts emphasis on fruit, resin, tar, cola and light smoke shadings. The wine is rich and smooth on the palate and would make a great companion to lasagna or stuffed pasta. Imported by Terra Verus Trading Co. LP.

Here’s a simple but genuine Ripasso with ripe notes of strawberry, blueberry pie and background aromas of cedar and spice. The wine has good lift and buoyancy in the mouth and keeps the palate satisfied.

A light exposure to oak aging has helped shape a satisfying Valpolicella that presents aromas of wild berry, almond and cured meat. Thanks to its sharp acidity you could pair this wine with grilled lamb or chicken.
