Bruce and Ron taste three Northern Italian red wines from the Valpolicella region. These are all made in the Ripasso method of having a second fermentation on the skins used to make Amarone wine. The three wines were all found at the same price point yet the reviews were far from similar.
Sorry for the poor sound quality — our mic died.
