Review: Nv Vipra Rosso Dolce Sweet Red
Stop me when Ive gone too far. Heres a wine thats: Lightly fizzy. Sweet. Low alcohol. Designed to be served chilled. And red.
Vipras Dolce Sweet Red was designed for millennials who have a sweet tooth and an aversion to alcohol: At 7% abv, this is pretty much soda for grown-ups. Im no millennial and all of this sounds awful, but as Vipra is imported by wine maven Frederick Wildman, I was willing to take a chance.
Thoughts follow. Here goes!
Big blueberry and raspberry notes kick things off, with a fresh and indeed sweetly fruity attack. If not for a slightly sour zippiness, one could easily assume this was simply fruit juice with only a hint of grape must to prove this isnt actually some kind of very lightly fizzy carbonated beverage. As it stands, it drinks more like a sangria than a table wine, and indeed could serve admirably as a substitute or at least a base for the beverage. Vipra grew on me after a while, but it took some reprogramming my mind to get to a place where I could appreciate it. Having a table full of tapas is probably not a bad idea, either.
