    I always thought Valpolicella Ripasso is made only from Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, not Barbera. Hmm, I will double check . See our tastings of Ripasso from 2009 with Vierka and David http://mi-vino.blogspot.cz/search?q=ripasso

    That's what wikipedia stated as well but the only online reference which gave the split was one from Amazon UK.

    ... and I don't remember giving that wine as part of leaving Czech Republic but I guess my mind was busy with other things at that time
