Monile

1998 Salvalai, Vino di Ripasso, Monile, Veneto ($14). Quick review. It is a corvina based wine made this way. They take a regularly fermented Valpolicella and run it through a second fermentation on the pomace of an Amarone. It makes an easily quaffable full bodied, reasonably priced, red that goes with steak, game, sausages, and the like.

Last night we used it a sort of U.N. meal. Italian wine, French beans, and American burgers. Made up Cheddarburgers, and had them with leftover from Easter Flageolets en Casserole, and the Ripasso. Simply wonderful.
