Aroma
Red and black cherry, plum and spice aromas
With classic intense cherry and spice notes, this red is from Cantina Negrar, an award winning cellar in the heart of Valpolicella, not far from Verona. Star winemaker and trained oenologist Daniele Accordini works closely with small local growers, encouraging the highest standards in the vineyard as well as respect for the natural environment and biodiversity. For this red he has ensured plenty of richness, weight and complexity by fermenting the wine with a portion of partially dried Amarone grapes – a technique known as Ripasso. From a top vintage, the wine has rich cherry flavours, chocolatey notes and an attractive ‘bite’. Poggio al Lago Ripasso pairs beautifully with pasta and tomato and basil sauce, lasagne or a spicy pork casserole.
