Distributor's Notes:

"The Ca Della Scala Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Mezzopiano is an esteemed Italian red crafted by Italo Cescon in Veneto. Valpolicella wines are known for their distinctive character, while Ripasso wines undergo a second fermentation on Amarone grape skins, enriching body, complexity, and color. The Superiore label denotes extended aging and higher alcohol, delivering greater structure and depth. Mezzopiano represents this unique expression from Italo Cescon. This wine displays a deep ruby hue with vibrant fruit and subtle spice on the nose. On the palate, it is well-balanced, soft, and complex with a lingering finish, revealing notes of dried fruit, cherry, leather, earth, black pepper, and chocolate. It pairs excellently with game birds, grilled meats, semi-aged cheeses, and robust pasta dishes."
