    This is delicious and forward, with aromas of ripe plum, spice and raisin. The rich palate delivers opulent black fruit flavors along with black licorice and white pepper notes. This is big, soft and open, and should be enjoyed soon.

    Aged one year in small French barrel, Ripasso Corte Majoli is padded with extra oak tones of spice, toasted nut and tobacco that surround a fresh core of cherry fruit. In contrast to the bouquet, the wine feels sharp and crisp on the close.

    This vintage of Tezza's Corte Majoli Ripasso offers much more intensity on the nose that comes forward as smoky-spice, leather, tobacco and mature berry. The wine is aged in oak and this process had imparted background tones of vanilla and toasted nut.

    Measured aromas of wild berry and exotic spice are followed by smoky flavors of cured beef in this easy, crisp Ripasso. Offers more depth in the mouth than it does the nose.
