I am going to bottle a several month old Valpolicella Ripasso tomorrow. I plan to blend some of it with some several month old Rosso Fortussimo (cab, merlot, sangiovesse) making a Rubio. I have bench tasted the blend to find the % I want. but I would like just a tiny bit of sweet. Both wines are completely dry and very clear. Could I back sweeten just a bit? I don't have any kind of flavor pack. What could I use if anything? What is the procedure? I have never done this but really would like to add a touch of sweet. the amount I plan to blend into Rubio will be 1.5 gallons and I have the perfect bottle to let it sit another few weeks in until I bottle it. I hope this makes sense and I hope someone has suggestions and how to.
