very good

The 2010 Allegrini Corte Giara Ripasso has an intense bouquet composed of blackberry, figs and dark chocolate. It is full bodied, fruity, has balanced acidity and tannins and a medium to long, silky finish. Drink as a sipper or with protein rich foods; drink now and for the next 5+ years. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 89 pts – recommended buy based on price and quality. Tasted April/13 at WineAlign Cru tasting.

Still a very good everyday go to wine for Italian dishes but not as enjoyable as the 2009 vintage
