I shared a bottle of this with my girl friend as an accompaniment to a chicken,pancetta and hard goats cheese creamy pasta dish.

The wine matched up well to some of the stronger flavors of the pancetta and cut through creamyness of the sauce. Very drinkable but a little bit one dimensional, but I suppose this is always a risk with semillon.

edit: 2005 vintage

I developed a taste for Ripasso on holiday in Vencie earlier this year and have found it popping up in supermarkets in the UK recently. I was impressed by Aldi's ( https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/about-aldi/awards-endorsements/quality-food-and-drink-awards-2014/product-detail-page/ps/p/valpolicella-ripasso/ ) especially at that price, but would be interested if anyone could recommend any slightly higher priced ripasso bottles worth the money?
