To complement Mirza roe deer cheeks, Restaurant Bahnhof, Henggart serves Valpolicella Ripasso Gaso DOC from San Rustico, Venice.

Our tasting note
The Ripasso Gaso has a deeply garnet-red colour and exudes the pleasant aroma of plums and prunes. Very concentrated fruits on the pallet with aromas of bitter almonds and ripe berries. Rounded, long-lasting finish.
