It opens with black cherry, blueberry, raspberry, dried violet, sweet spice and a lovely woodland note of moss, earth and herbs. There is richness here, but it never feels heavy or overworked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is plush, rounded and savoury, with dark berry fruit wrapped in smooth tannins and a chalky mineral edge. The Ripasso method brings more colour, body and gentle sweetness of fruit, while the wine keeps the brightness that makes Valpolicella so useful at the table. A generous, quietly serious red with polish, charm and enough structure for proper food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA cosy Italian dinner needs something richer than Valpolicella, but fresher than Amarone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWild boar ragù, roast pork, grilled sausages, mushroom risotto, braised beef, roast lamb, hard cheeses, salami or aubergine parmigiana.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarion is one of Valpolicella’s most admired small family estates, run by Stefano and Nicoletta Campedelli in the Marcellise valley east of Verona. Corte Lavel is a particularly characterful part of the story, giving a Ripasso that feels full and mineral, with the kind of dark fruit, earth and soft herbal complexity that makes Marion’s wines so quietly compelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799825338753,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2019-vap-ripasso-cortelavel.png?v=1781875178","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2021-valpolicella-ripasso-superiore-cortelavel","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
