It is then aged for 18-months in large oak barrels and has a deep ruby color, typically intense scent and a full warm body.

Tobin’s Review 4 out of 5
Rengo Valpolicella Ripasso 2016 has a dark inky hue. The wine is smooth on the tongue with a hint of oak. It is a nice full bodied wine with vibrant and rich flavors. It’s not dry and has aromas and tasted of dark fruit; in particular blackberry.
