A Visit to Valpolicella

That Wine Pod

Season 2 Episode 4 – A Visit to Valpolicella

Pete and VinoMike return to Italy to visit the Veneto region and one of its stars – Valpolicella!

The guys jump right in and start with tasting the 2016 Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore from Zenato. This classic wine is a blend of Corvina (85%) and Rondinella (10%) with the rest an indigenous grape, Oseleta. The dried grape component does shine through in this big red while balanced with incredible structure and a bit of unusually grippy tannins. Wait until you hear the food pairings.

The bulk of the episode is filled with facts about Ripasso, Amarone, and the rest of the wines in the region. There are new rules in Valpolicella and VinoMike fills you in on the ones that matter. A little nerdy at times, this episode will have you craving a bottle from the region!
