A smokey mix of crushed ashen stone, dried black cherries and exotic spice smolders up from the 2019 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco. This is silky in feel with cooling acidity. Mineral-tinged red berries add a lovely inner tension, and a citrus hint adds beautiful contrast. It finishes long and lightly structured with nuances of strawberry and a salty flourish that lingers on.
