Corposo is Colaneri’s take on a Ripasso wine. The blend is 65% Cabernet Franc, 25% Syrah and 10% Merlot. At first whiff, it is Cab Franc’s herbal nature that takes control, but soon thereafter, the plums, cocoa and cherry of the Merlot and the black pepper and cassis of the Syrah dominate. It is medium- to full-bodied, with a sweet core of berry fruit on the palate and a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 4 to 5 years.
