The Irish Times

"Nero d’Avola can sometimes be a little too dry to drink on its own, but this version, with its smooth light dark cherry fruits, can certainly be drunk solo or with canapés and medium-bodied meals as well."

Sunday Business Post

"Ripasso means re-fermenting the young wine on the skins of the grapes used to make Amarone itself. Ripasso is a natural extension of Amarone winemaking, but the Ripasso wines are often easier, more open and fruity in style. They can also provide a good guide as to what Amarone you will like if you decide to splash out on one. This is a spicy, cherry and dark-chocolate toned affair, with quite a firm, grippy finish."
